I AM LIVID!!!! CANDY might have to be PTS!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about Candy, but I'm confused. If you did not breed Candy, how did you end up with her and place her?

My co-breeder got her from a friend breeder -- when Candy's temperament did not turn out, she asked Candy's breeder if she could rehome her, her breeder said yes. She was returned 3 months later due to a family tragedy or something (I honestly can't even remember), and her temperament had turned around, she was a lovely dog, very sweet and friendly, loved everyone. Thought about co-owning her with Marla but we decided to rehome her again instead.

WOULFSOUL---At this point just hold your breath and do everything in your power to save Candy, this has to be your first mission. After you get her back, hopefully, and I do hope you will get her back or your friend will, then will be time enough to go to court. Believe me if those people tried to train her for protection work knowing her temperament you will probably walk away the winner. A lot of people would rathere just pay than have the trouble of going to court so you might also get lucky there. In the meantime, bide your time until Candy is safe.
There are dishonest people in all walks of life and unfortunately you just ran into some. Best to you and Candy.

Sorry to hear that Candy is having to go through this. Hope it works out to her benefit.

Are the laws regarding biting incidents more stringent in Canada than they are in America?

In the majority of cases here, a single biting incident would not be a reason for a dog to be put down. A couple of weeks in quarantine, payment of a fine, and a promise of better control and supervision of the dog in the future and it would be done with. A severe bite, attack or repeat incident could lead to what poor Candy is going through now.
