Hottie was shown- and co owned until 3 years old when he could not show anymore. I told him he can use them. Although we have no more contact with each other- and quite frankly- they should have used a specialitist when he got hurt- I am still civil.. ( sort of..) All of hotties advancing condition is due to this problem. My vet said it should not have been put in a cast. I agree..
Thanks applesmom- I know about them. .. They have accidents with their dogs all the time. Lucifer hung himself, his sister died in a teeth cleaning etc. Etc.... Hottie is registered now as only mine. ( along with the bills and care etc.. uh huh..)
Its standard when the dog is retired to change the ownership papers with the AKC. I rarely did- but some do. ..AND- these are the same people that wanted to use Hottie for breeding. It was never satisified with me- did the accident happen because of a injury- or did it happen because of a weakness. I have only had one other dog that was injured to that severity as a puppy- but didnt develope the problems afterwards. Obviously- OCD is more genetic here than injuries.
