yes and no. for several years of Happy and Blairs lives we were in close contact with there breeder, but she is a complete and total @$$ and while my mom still speaks with her on occasion, I refuse to have any contact with her.

Mistys breeder we do not keep contact with, they dont have e-mail and while we have their number it would be long distance, so we really dont bother.

Perky and Ripley are shelter dogs, I mean keeping in contact with foster familys sure, but they were just dogs in a cage over 100 randome people careing for them lol

Shadow is with a new home now but she was a stray, we havent a clue where she came from.
