So as you may or may not know, Kai was purchased from who we thought (at the time) was an ethical breeder roughly four years ago. He shows his dogs and is a best in show judge. You'd think that someone with a close relationship with the CKC would follow the club's by-laws right? Nope!
This guy is a classic nutcase. He told us not to neuter Kai (he asked if we wanted a male, or an "it"...) and yet still made us sign a contract stating that we wouldn't be using him to breed. The pups also never saw the inside of the house until they were leaving. Kai had to live in an xpen in a filthy shack for the first 12 weeks of his life. If I had say in it, I would have turned around right then.. but ultimately, it was up to my mom. I could go on and on about how much of a nutcase he is.. Jordan and her boss (a Sheltie breeder) can vouch for me on that one!
He was supposed to send us the CKC papers a LONG time ago (up to 6 months after the purchase of the dog I believe). He never did. We tried contacting him but we could never reach him. I gave up as papers weren't that important to me anyways.. but now that Kai's almost ready to start trialing in agility and obedience, I DO need those papers!
So I filled out the forms and sent them to the CKC, to have them persue the complaint against the breeder. They finally got back to me and sent me a copy of what they sent the breeder. They're asking him to register the litter now and pay the fees. On top of that, they found out that Kai's tattoo is really registered to ANOTHER Shetland Sheepdog (I am FURIOUS about that btw.. it means he'll have to go through another tattoo or microchip because his breeder is an idiot). He has a month to get back to the CKC. If he chooses not to, he'll be given a lovely $250 fine.
He's FINALLY getting what he deserves!
(I scanned and attached the copy they sent me too)
