This is why i dont show dogs!!!, its a dog guys, love peace n all that lol Im getting mellow in me old age! The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves!
I read the same thing you did Anne. Alex just stated what Bill said. Merlin had a murmur. No biggie just something he out grew. None of us ran around talking about it because we never knew until Bill explained the other night. Troy Stroud AKC Member USNMC Member

The past is an event to be learned from. It should not be a cross you carry on your back and use to assault everyone you meet .
"he's alive, so he has a BAD heart!!".. You did not say anything about him having a murmur.... You didn't. Some idiot, who knows Merlin DOESN'T have a bad heart, said he has a bad heart..............Because... she knew he had been cleared...
But, you all believed it, didn't you???? Troy.... "Merlin had a bad heart????"
And also, it's ridiculous what the 2 of you say about Ferdinando NOT having a championship, he is 6 now, with a Bruno behind him, and others, but he wasn't always..... that's just the way it has happened. And good for him... He still was never shown, and has no championship. And you did say that is why we show, to show our breeding stock, didn't you?????? But Ferdinando isn't breeding stock???
Oh, and you put up that stupid song you tube thing, .... but.... you did read it, didn't you? No one forced you.....
But, when the mob jumped all over us, the other day, you were RGHT THERE........
And why should I respond to all the demands for proof??? Who the f___ else gets asked for proof????
Why would I, who practices what I say.... Not just lip service, breed 2 dogs that aren't good breeding material. I wouldn't. I am educated, I educate myself, I do reasearch, and when I make a statement, it's because I know what I'm talking about. If I had NOT told anyone Rudy was a diabetic, who would have known??????No one. But I did. And I explained. And IF I HADN'T BEEN ATTACKED by yes, very ignorant people, maybe I would have explained further. But that didn't happen, did it?
And no one needed to know about Merlin, either, but I have been very upfront about that, too.... I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE....He could have just disappeared for a few months, right???? And him being shown in Amana, and elsewhere, and nothing would have been said....... Doesn't anyone remember Deppen's dog at nationals??? His dog was practically FALLING DOWN IN THE RING!!!! This was a clearly injured dog... that shouldn't have ben shown!!!!! The judge should have excused him. But he had the nerve to be pissed when his champion dog, wasn't picked!!!! If it had been me, and one day, it may be... who knows??? If I have a dog that is in pain, and I am making it worse by running him around a ring, I will ask the judge myself, to excuse me, and I will leave the ring. I have taken Prunella to a show in the past, and not shown her, (and she is the 3rd in standings, not bragging, just showing you my thoughts), oh, and no, she wasn't bred at this kennel... AND NOT SHOWN HER!!! Because she was in pain, you see, she licks her feet raw, at times, and they HURT!! Again, just saying!!
(Anyone have any suggestions as to food???? We are trying an elimination diet with her, and Fieonna.....)
Just saying..... lot of double talk, and double standards..... for the breeder of merit, that is.....
Who happened to breed 4 bitches at one time, and if all took, she wouldn't be a puppy miller, because she is a "breeder of merit", by her claims??? Not mine, not anyone elses...
I am transparent about everything, in the hope someone could learn from my mistakes. And because, some bitches have a thing against me, because they have screwed me over in the past, and it has been shown, and we are competition for them, they constantly are attacking us.... Wow, wasn't it originally 40 litters????
But it wasn't... not even close...... And sure, while others were actually in charge of this kennel, mistakes were made. Yup, 5 bitches were bred, and 4 took. So Bill is a puppy miller??? But the bitch from Indy isn't, cuz she says she bred 4(on her site), and she now says only 2 took? And using an 11 month old male??
That is wrong, I know it, you know it, everyone knows it, but because the "breeder of merit", by her own claims, did it, it's all wonderful. If Bill and I had done it, people would be all over us......
And just one more thing.... Merlin is absolutely nuts, when a bitch is flagging, dangerously so..... He is kept in lockdown, in a very safe unbreachable kennel, in the "basement", that so many people are focused on...(It's a ground floor in the back of the home). So, yes, it wasn't an accident. It was very purposeful, so a bitch could be sold pregnant, and Bill wasn't home, he had moved out.... Because you see, it was dangerous for him, here.
I would like to tell you first of all half of the crap bill posts is such bullshit that I dont take the time to read his run on babbling it almost hurts my eyes the way he writes so this last one to tell you the truth I didnt even take the time to read.
This will be your last warning about trying to start bickering at me or any others here. I warned you before and will not do it again... And no Phil nor Starr will be the ones you run to after I publicly warn you about this. Next step will be to take your forum privileges away. STOP IT!
I understand your frustration but I am not the one.... ok..... Just stop its not worth it and your just making it worse. Let it die down and move on... No one here wants to hear it or read about it.
To sum it all up I dont think I like your attitude right about now so I am going to leave it at that.
