Before anyone flips out, I am NOT looking to buy from a breeder. I'm looking for the breeder of the neglected puppy I rescued. I have her AKC papers, but have not had any luck finding the contact information for the breeder, despite knowing her name and location.

I've dubbed the puppy Riot and the known parts of her AKC pedigree are here seeing as I have not yet registered her but have the parent's information. The puppy is obviously a female sable panda. The past owners where crating her almost constantly and could not attend to her like a puppy should, to the point she was peeing and pooping in her crate every day and developed seperation anxiety. Riot is in a better home now and forunately her temperament is surprisingly stable otherwise.

 

DOB: 12/17/15

Breeder name: Debbie Bowman
Breeder location: Crossvile, Tennessee

The vaccination record I was given by her previous owner seems to indicate that the litter was nine pups large or that Ms. Bowman had nine puppies from different litter(s) at the same time.

 

If anyone has any information they can provide, please email or messsage me.

Feel free to ask any questions about Riot, we all know breeding for only color, at the expensive of health and working ability is shitty. I agree, I don't need a lecture! I actually was looking at buying a dog from Sequoyah German Shepherds, not getting a puppy with... no health testing and a pretty awful pedigree.

Anyone who rescues a pup will get nothing but praise from me!

And I think she's darn cute!

I think she is too! I just hope that she ends up healthy.

I contacted a customer from of the kennel that that produced Riot's grandparents... Turns out their dog is only three and has bad hips, knees, and has DM. Sigh.

YIKES! Poor pup! Well, like you said, breeding for colour at the expense of other traits...  Sad Smile

The "good" news is that she is a gen-u-wine Panda, going back to Franka in the 8th generation. Lo, the power of the dominant gene.

Yup, I wouldn't have posted the word panda if she had not been "legitimate" panda. Although I've heard about other litters having the same mutation pop up

I can't help OP, but this made me think of a question.

Question: are panda shepherds just a piebald mutation?

Just a quick yes or no. Don't want to get away from the original post.

To my knowledge, no.

Panda shepherds are a result of a mutation of the KIT gene as researched by Prof. Micheal Davis of UCDavis. The trait is dominant. From what we think we know, traditonal white markings from the S locus are incomplete dominant.
Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23134432

I am planning on getting her DNA tested for the S locus and was actually called Paw Print Genetics to inquire about the existence of a KIT mutation test today. I'm a huge genetics fan so I would be quite interested in the results regardless. No test for KIT mutation exists that PPG knows of, so I'm going to keep trying to contact UCDavis
