Finally! Some progress re: Kai's breeder & papers ----- UPDATE!

[zoomer]

A month passed by so I contacted the CKC to see if they heard back from the breeder. Unfortunately, they didn't.

I guess I was wrong and he won't get fined. Apparently I had three years to file a formal complaint. It's close to 4 years now so there's nothing the CKC can do. I CAN get the RCMP involved as he did break laws, but it's just such a hassle.. I think it'd just be more effective to ruin his reputation as a breeder.. though he has already done quite a nice job on his own.

I was just happy at first because I thought Kai would be able to compete soon.. with either the registration papers or a performance event number. NOPE! I just found out that the performance event number is for dogs from unknown parents/lines.

ARG! I'm so fustrated! I have half the mind to drive up 4 hours myself to give him a piece of my mind!

I'm sorry Ashley I would be extremeley upset if that was my dog too, and I'm very upset for you right now

Ashley,

If you cannot obtain the papers I am sure that the CKC has something similar to the AKC. They Call it an ILP. Although you have a pure bred and it may not be registered you can obtain an ILP to compete in Agility, Herding, Obedience and fly ball. Pretty much any event except the conformation ring. So if your Nutcase Breeder doesn't come through to you see if the CKC has something like the ILP(Indefinite Listing Priviledge)

Wow, that's ridiculous. Joe Brandt is a complete idiot. I was talking to another breeder the other day who became excited to see him at a show as she has a dog out of one of Joe's dogs. She approached him and said that her dog was out of Billy. He said "Billy...I think that dog got hit by a car or something. Oh well, if a dog is dumb enough to run into the road it deserves to die."

I'll see if there is something else you can do...He needs to be fined in some way, he's done this too many times.

Thanks for the info Tim! I will ask the CKC about that. I heard the CKC will be starting RallyO trials in 2007! Hope we have everything sorted out by then

YIKES! Something definitely needs to be done. If you ever come across people with a dog from him, see if you can get them to email me or something? I can't really do anything about Kai's papers, but I want him to get what he deserves. If enough people report him to the RCMP and the CKC, then maybe he'll get huge fines and/or stripped of his judging privilages.

Ashley, this makes me so mad so I cannot even imagine how angry you are. If nothing else could be done, then I would give him a piece of my mind (but who knows what he'd do if someone did that?)!
