Another Breeder/Importers Dog coming into Rescue - Page 11

None of this would have happened Mr, Reid, if you had only returned Steph's calls!  Why didn't  you do so?

That rescue you are taking in Steph, sounds like a Dream dog for me, Sch and gas smelling, Wow. I would have to rehome one of mine, which I am not willing to do. But I can dream of this one! This is a double edge sword for you, you should not be taking in more of them (bless you), and what an honor to save this one at the same time. To me, sounds like in the right hands could be a heck of a dog!

Thanks everyone for your support,

Ray Reid,

I will answer you here, since you won't return my phone call...That is the reason this is on this board, I waited till after you didn't return my call before I put this on here...

I called you directly and left a message on for you to return my call...you never did, but called Linda instead...you said you didn't remember the dog..Linda did try to reach you shortly after getting the dog...You wouldn't return her phone calls either...the only time you called her back, was a couple days AFTER I called YOU...

The dog is getting too protective of her, the longer she has him, this is typical of GSD's...they feel more comfortable in their surroundings and start different behavior. She has worked with a trainer a friend of hers, that,  I just found out and has had several other of my rescue dogs in her classes...She gave me a Kudos BTW also....

I don't believe she has had him 8 months either...not from what she has told me...
Anyhow, as I said earlier,,,,this all is a mute point...another case of a breeder, trainer, seller,kennel, whatever you want to call him....not following up...
Steph

I wonder who surrendered the dog ? Was it the husband or the MS patient ? I would think that dog knew what was a threat to a  person and what wasn't. Sounds like some domestic disputes and the dog protected the disabled.

... always a conspiracy with me, I know.  lol

BabyEagle4U, you had the courage to say what I was thinking/wondering.

What coulds possibly be "unethical" about Steph's actions. I see nothing unethical on her part-period. ¶ A return call....hmmmm "Don't cry for me Argentina."

Mr. Reid,
All you had to do was return a phone call.  You spent way more time trying to convince complete strangers of your innocence than you would have had you just called Steph back.  You had your chance to do the right thing.  We know every story has at least two sides.  You blew it buddy.  I'm not siding with the couple who surrendered the dog...I'm just saying you should have returned Steph's call.  Sounds to me like you tried to help them out but you fell short and should have figured out it was a mismatch to begin with.  Failing to follow up with Steph didn't help.  So don't go trying to say she is wrongly accusing you...if the shoe fits, wear it.

OK so now that you know about the dog Mr. Reid then be responsible and take the dog back. This is really a no brainer.

* "I must say though that Steph from Montana German Shepherd Rescue acted not only unethically but in a defamatory way to me." *

-- I agree with this Ray Reid. Apparently this Linda Birmingham was forced to make an immediate decision after the dog warned the husband. Reid does say the dogs trainer spoke with Linda several times and all was well. So prolly this GSD Rescue was a minute type decision ... and prolly the husbands idea, not the owner.

To come on a public forum and discredit the seller, really isn't right.

Ray Reid, I would suggest you get this dog back ASAP. I do hope this Rescue returns the dog to Ray Reid.
