I guess i see it from both side and don't feel a need to blame either one.

What I see is someone who can't take care of their own business and came here to exact a pound of flesh.

EUROSPORT did not want Billa back- after I had her spayed she was "worthless" to them.  Thats why I had her spayed just about  10 days after getting her.  It was the agreement that after 3 weeks I would let them know if I liked the dog and was going to keep her if yes then she was not returnable once spayed.  Well the only reason I found out how sick she was when I did have her spayed.  All you that are posting saying you wouldn't be upset if you were in the same shoes as me are not being truthful- ENOUGH SAID (LIVE AND LEARN) the hard way...

there was no need of making personal attack on me. All I made was a statement. Altjhough I did not have a pleasant experience with this kennel in particular. buit that has been discussed one year back on another thread because of the marketing lady and some emails exchanged back and forth. I got emails from people asking me my experience with kennel. I was not attacking. I just told them what I got as a deal.

cheers and have a good day.

To JustCurious(again),

You made a comment about leaving it up to the vet as to when a dog gets spayed. With this kind of thinking you are in for a life of misery with your dogs. Please do your homework about every aspect concerning your dog's health. Vets aren't as smart as given credit for. Most know nothing about nutrition, vaccines, or the correct time to spay/neuter. With the exception a few good vets they will rarely make a suggestion as to what is actually best for your pet unless you go in  to there office armed with a lot of knowledge.

One of the things that I find very disturbing about most pet owners is that they listen to their vets advice as if it were gospel without ever really checking on that information. If you go to your human doctor and that doctor told you something that seemed a little off you would do some homework and check on it yourself. Why do pet owners not do this with vets? I have learned from many years of rescueing animals and spending many tens of thousands of dollars how dangerous this can be.

Just last Friday I spoke to a woman that was interested in one of my rescues that has a seven year old GSD with health issues. One of the more prominent issues is severe allergies. Three weeks ago her vet just gave the dog another full series of vaccines. They have done everything else to try to figure out what is wrong with this dog except check to see if the allergies are caused by the un-needed vaccines. This is because this vet feels that all of the present info on why dogs do not need yearly vaccines is hogwash. What an asshole! Keep the dog sick because of your own uninformed beliefs.

do you really believe spaying is the central issue here?  also the caliber of vet caring for billa has never been questioned by the seller so I would have to assume she was not put off by the decision or subsequent care or she would have mentioned it by now. it is true some vets are very good some and some are not; this is also true for breeders, dog owners and any other sort of person you can think of.  

being self reliant and educated on whatever you engage is an important quality to develop but it's very hard to be an expert on every topic so we often find ourselves in need of help from those who have more experience and or education than we have.  imo making broad generalizations about a group of individuals tends to oversimplify situations to the point were everything becomes meaningless.  the way i see health care: when employing preventative measures like vax's i relay on my own judgment based on info and opinions i've gathered but when it comes to things i cannot do e.g. spaying/neutering emergency care like car accidents - i must consult a vet and work with their expertise because i simply don't have the knowledge required to make the decision alone.

Rescuing animals has to be the most difficult life because you get to see just how stupid and selfish people can be. I think the greatest challenge a rescue person faces is the loss of hope for humanity -  how can you possible believe in people when all you ever see is how horrible we can be.

keep up the good work,

susan

p.s. my last gsd, who died last dec, had vax induced parvo. he was a "rescue" of sorts  - the breeder severely over vaxed him she was emotional unbalanced and took a great dislike for this pup (i think because he was hare-footed & crypt) her treatment of him was so disturbing that I could not leave him there so bought him.  he was 4.5 months and got parvo soon after we brought him home. the vet diagnosed him and did save his life but he never really recovered from vaccinoisis (sp?).

how did the spaying become the topic??? It should be the fact that dawn bought a dog that may not live much longer due to renal failure- how do you EUROSPORT Yuppies wanna defend that?  some of you should just stick to cats- LOL

Greertotherescue,

Us Eurosport yuppies defend it by understanding that they offerred to replace the dog and that offer was declined.

How is it that a low-life Greer like yourself fails to understand that?

dawngypsygirl you state:  "...EUROSPORT did not want Billa back- after I had her spayed she was "worthless" to them.  Thats why I had her spayed just about  10 days after getting her.  It was the agreement that after 3 weeks I would let them know if I liked the dog and was going to keep her if yes then she was not returnable once spayed. .."

So the agreement you made with them prior was to wait at least 3-weeks to see if you liked her before getting her spayed, you knew once she was spayed you could not return her.  It was when you went to get her spayed you "found out" she was sick?   You only waited 10-days, not the 3-weeks agreed and now you're complaining???  Are you kidding me?   Take some responsibility yourself, even if she had not been sick YOU still did not meet your end of the agreement.

EVERY dog, adult or puppy, I get goes to the vet the day after I get them for a complete check-up.   Even pups I've personnaly watched growing for weeks at the breeders before I pick them up are at the vets the next day.  

she saw the vet a few days after getting here because we had some stitches removed from a problem she had with her tail.. we had the spay done about a week or so later.  you can keep making excuses- I dont care anymore- if I knew she was sick I wouldnt have kept her or had her spayed.  YOUR RIGHT ITS MY FAULT I ASKED TO GET A SICK DOG.
