re: aldergrove house fire

we were liscenced actually and the vets came to our house to check our dogs.....our fire was nto started by the heat lamps we have the report if you would like to have a copy of it. our dogs were family pets only 2 were bred. the other's were actually rescues...you can call the spca, the spca does not adopt out un altered dogs. we actively involved with the breed and attend every rally and program in our city and neighboring cities. and our 2 dogs are active in weight pull as well. ALL our dogs are sold on a non breeding contract and some altered. we dont give you the chance to "screw" it up. lots of breeders will give you the pup and after you send the spay/neuter cert back to them they give you the papers. whats stopping someone from not sending that in right? our dogs are also sold under a very strick contract including and not limited to a 5,000 can funds fine, and we HAVE had to go through with that. thank god only once. we know currently where all our pups are living and how they are treated, i can tell you the crinshaw's breeder doesnt even check on us not that he has to but it just goes to show right? we DO do home visit. We mostly sell to families, and owners who want a great dog for weight pull, show, or as i said just a pet. With our contract comes a book, we do not sell our puppies for gaurd dogs, they do nto make good gaurd dogs, along with care instructions, there current food, training, agression, etc. it tells you how to handle all of it. our pups are also microchipped stating in our contract you CANNOT get rid of this pup under any circumstances without contacting us first....(thats what that one man got fined for) if our dogs ever end up in the spca, they do nto call the owner they call us first. and we have the choice whether to give your pup back refund or no refund ! we are a good kennel, with good morals, we will always be active in this issue of bsl, bad breeders, so please dont "bash" us here. there's always 2 sides to the story and the paper usually gets it wrong. that guy that lost his pitbull female and ten puppies and a goat, the barn was set on fire. he lives in the neighboring town only 10 minutes away. so i hope who ever wrote that post before writting one about us feels really bad. and i hope the person who hated pitbulls that much to do that is caught, someone could of been in there, someone a person could of died instead of those animals. and in our case we are not a brand new kennel like the paper said, we just happened to buy a dog that day, the last dog, and there was a heat lamp to keep some chickens warm, funny how they dont tell you that. anyways if you were a person who came to our aid that night i thank you, there's alot of thanks that need to go around but everyone doesnt stick around for that. if there are spelling mistakes i assure they are from being tired and frustrated rather than not being able to spell .......(i am currently 9 months pregnant ready to "pop" i dont get much sleep anymore) im very sorry but i thoughtwe had a sound kennel, well i still think we do. we have had and still continue to get help from some of the tops kennels in the world. i think our contract is pretty fool proof and as far as i know we are the only kennel, was the only kennel, that sold our pups already spayed/neutered ! i also would like to add a link to our website for hugabull, and advocates for the underdog for adoption/rescues. anymore coverage they could get would be great. as for our kennel we dont know whats going on, everything is on hold for now...with baby on the way...but we are going to keep our website. just the news will be the more important part now ! thank you again...if you are wondering Crinshaw is great, he will going into his first weightpull at the end of august.....are you a member of apbt in bc? or advocates for the underdog....i urge you to join.....show your support !
