Kate, do you know why the original owner, assumming they are the ones who used Chief to breed from, had to give him and their other dogs up? I ask you as you said they had a genuine reason for rehoming him?

Ahhh now its seeping out! So Chief was also used as a stud dog then? A PATCHY stud dog, who on earth would do that?

Re NIS failure, of course they have. They KNOW where he is, they have done NOTHING to take the dog back, THEIR responsibility to their breed and rehome him themselves. Jeeeeeees Rachel, you are so tight to them you need to open up and see whats in front of you!

Dawn again i ask how were they meant to know unless the owner told them? Yes they know who had him and where he was rehomed but unless the owner says 'hey i am having problems and want to give him back to you' you would assume all is well.

I know they have been in touch with the rescue but i dont know the outcome of this and have asked for an update on him.

Does the NIS have to get 'slagged-off' at every opportunity on this forum at the moment??!! Come on people!!! Get the facts right first eh. This is tantamount to slander.

I say to you again Rachel, they know NOW!!! Have done NOTHING!!

If you knew what went on then you would understand. I had nothing to do with the NIS thread being started but as always all the crap hits the surface, with new crap hitting the fan!

This is pathetic and disgusts me. I do not understand the motives for it all at all.

If you care to read the last part of my post rather then jumping to conculsions:

'I know they have been in touch with the rescue but i dont know the outcome of this and have asked for an update on him.'

So they have acted once they found out. I dont know the details of the outcome though and neither do you so dont wish to fly off the handle.

Oh I can clearly see that Reb, (dont blame you for a second) some research I think, start here:

Get a feel for the people behind the "breed"

Note also in other threads how many "pro NIS" are now vehemently "anti NIS" Should give you an idea.

That's a bit spiteful and really doesn't help this poor old boy looking for a home now does it? Can you please take your hate-mongering elsewhere on the forum and leave this poor old gent to find his last forever home.
