Jrasamuyr Border
Border Terrier breeder gets ‘stolen’ dog back
Issue: 29/07/2022
A Border Terrier breeder has got her dog back after it was allegedly ‘stolen’ from Birmingham National Show in May.
Charmaine Khatchikian said she was “so happy” to get her dog Sergei, Jrasamuyr Sergei Filin, back following the incident.
The dispute with Dutch couple Tonny and W***y Van Heck over the ownership of the dog was finally resolved when Ms Khatchikian agreed to pay them €4,000.
The Van Heck’s do not accept any blame or fault and insist they did not steal the dog. They felt they were taking back their property.
They had allowed Charmaine to show the dog in Paris and at the Border Terrier Centenary event. On April 28 they received an e-mail from Ms Khatchikian saying that she would not be returning the dog to them because she felt they had too many animals and not enough money. Claims they deny.
Ms Khatchikian said she had returned the money they paid for the dog €3,200. This is also denied by the Van Heck’s.
As she would not return the dog W***y Van Heck decided to go to the Staffordshire Show Ground and take the dog to The Netherlands. Charmaine had put a “No Export Pedigree” restriction on the dog.
WRANGLE
A legal wrangle ensued until the Van Heck’s solicitor sent an e-mail which said, ‘Although my clients do not accept any blame or fault, they are prepared to hand over Sergei after the following conditions are met:
‘€4,000 is paid, we have received (i) a written consent to these conditions and (ii) the € 4.000; after that Sergei is handed over at my office; the person that receives Sergei signs for receipt; Mrs. Khatchikian stops all communications to my clients as from today; she stops all communications about my clients as from today.’
Ms Khatchikian agreed to these terms and an agreement was signed by her and Tonny Van Heck as they handed over the dog to Charmaine.
Afterwards Charmaine thanked The Kennel Club, the Dutch Kennel Club (Raad Van Beheer) and the four policemen who were there to help as the dog was handed over.
She told OUR DOGS she paid the money because, ‘I have been receiving counselling, I have been put on anti-depressants. I paid it; I would have paid €10,000! I had the counsellor with me. The whole point is, the €4,000, the council have an association. They have actually paid half the money because I was suicidal.’
She was pleased to get him back and after giving him a bath she said, ‘He smells lovely. He looks beautiful now. He looks like a Crufts puppy.’
Despite the fact it has cost her over €10,000 in legal and other fees she said, ‘I just feel better, I can get on with the rest of my life.’
W***y Van Heck told OUR DOGS, ‘Her mental coach suggested that Miss Khatchikian give that amount for the dog. That proposal did not come from me. Of course, it cost me a lot of money, but I take that for granted.’
Because of the legal costs Mr Van Heck was forced to sell a horse and the dispute has affected his health. He said, ‘With pain in my heart I said goodbye to Sergei and hope to get some rest now.’

Dog goes missing at show
Issue: 20/05/2022
A dog alleged to have been stolen from the Birmingham National show is believed to be in the Netherlands.
Border Terrier Jrasamuyr Sergei Filin was allegedly taken on Friday 6 May at about 11.30am from Charmaine Khatchikian’s car.
Charmaine told OUR DOGS, ‘The man was seen dragging Sergei across the field by this lady, Lucy and throwing him in the car. She was in the car behind which had a Netherlands registration. On Friday, I noticed his collar was undone. I thought “Why’s his collar undone”. I know what they have done.
‘He must have been lurking around in the bushes outside the Margaret Everton building. He must have loosened his collar to vocally entice Sergei but what must have happened he must have run off.
Run off
‘He had loosened his collar and used voice control to try and trap him but he must have lost him because a dog trainer she said she saw a Border Terrier on the car park and a little girl she said Sergei had come back to the car and ran off. Where the Margaret Everton building is, is the campsite. There are loads of places you can hide. At 11.30am Lucy and her husband are leaving. They are in the car behind the Netherlands car. She sees him wearing a wax jacket and he had a hat on.’
At the hotel in Birmingham the battery in her car had run down and she was told she had to run the engine at the dog show for one hour without driving it. The dogs were inside the car and the doors were not locked. She had to leave the windows open as she could not drain the battery.
Shropshire Police have been informed and there is a crime number. She has also told the Dutch Police because she strongly suspects that she knows the identity of the thieves.
She has also contacted Raad Van Beheer (The Dutch Kennel Club) and they have referred the matter to their legal team.
Charmaine alleges the thieves are a Dutch couple she sold Jrasamuyr Sergei Filin to but then decided they were not appropriate owners of the dog as they had personal and health problems. She returned their money to them. She had been told that the couple did not breed inside the Netherlands breeding regulations and there is a Kennel Club endorsement on the dog stopping him from being exported.
The KC has told her that a transfer of ownership application has been made for him to be transferred to another owner. Charmaine has told them he must not be transferred out of her name and that the application is fraudulent. She is concerned because the dog has been removed from her Kennel Club account.
‘They knew I was at that dog show, they knew I was there. They had a calendar of where the dog was entered.
‘They can’t walk in a show ring with him. They can’t breed from him. They can’t put a Dutch microchip in him or put a Dutch passport on him. They can’t do anything. They’ve just lost their heads!’

I am grateful to the Dutch Police in assisting in the seizure of Jrasamuyr Sergei Filin on 22 July 2022 in Druten, NL. Sergei had won Crufts 2022 Best in Breed Border Terrier Puppy. It was totally against my better judgement to let him be sold. I was mobbed by the Dutch couple and I was very unhappy with them. I retracted the sales contract on the basis of extreme negligence and failing to adhere to the stipulations of care towards him. They proceeded to stalk me in the UK and abducted him on 6 May 2022 at Stafford show ground. His disappearance by theft was witnessed. The procedure has taken 12 weeks of misery both for myself and Sergei, to get him back. I relented to their illegal extortion and paid a ransom in cash for his return. Their Dutch advocate procured the extortion and I am sure now the police will pursue penal charges not only against the Van Heck;s but their advocate. Extortion in any country is illegal. I am grateful to the Kennel Club for the swift ex*****on of a NO Export Pedigree endorsement and the freezing of any illegal transfer of name. The same applies to Raad Van Beheer, the Dutch Kennel Club, who have been involved since 6 May 2022 also, The 4 Netherlands police officers who officiated the return of Sergei to me on 22 July 2022. Without them I would not be able to write this. Sergei was returned in an appalling state. Sergei was stressed, head shy, nervous and very agitated. F***l matter was again evident that he had been fed on inferior food and dehydrated from absence of water to drink. His coat care, nail care, ears, resembled a charity dog case, His body was bloated from inferior food therefore unspannable. It looks as though his tail has been broken. He was wild and crazy on the lead because he has been neglected and dumped in a pack of their inferior breeding farm Dutch Border Terriers. He was so happy to see me and leave his jail sentence with his mother Violette and his uncle Codex. I will pursue penal and civil charges against this Dutch couple for the illegal abduction of Sergei and the negligence and abject cruelty they have subjected him to,

Vakantietijd. Weet jij wat je voor je dier moet regelen?

Rond de vakantieperiode krijgen wij vaak meldingen binnen over achtergelaten dieren. De dieren krijgen dan niet de juiste verzorging, er is helemaal geen verzorging geregeld of zijn in het ergste geval zelfs ergens gedumpt.

🏡Ga jij op vakantie en blijft je dier thuis, dan moet je er voor zorgen dat het dier tijdens jouw afwezigheid de juiste verzorging krijgt. Het maakt hierbij niet uit of het dier naar een pension, een asiel of de "buurman" gaat. Je kunt er als eigenaar ook voor kiezen om je dier in/om je eigen huis te laten, dit is afhankelijk van het soort en gedrag van het dier.
Maak duidelijke afspraken en geef heldere instructies aan degene die het dier tijdelijk onder zijn hoede heeft. Degene die voor jouw dier zorgt is op dat moment houder van het dier en dus verantwoordelijk. Hij of zij moet dus in staat zijn om de juiste verzorging te bieden. Heeft het dier medische verzorging nodig dan zal dit ook direct moeten worden geregeld door de houder.

🚗Wanneer je naar het buitenland reist moet je je houden aan de wet- en regelgeving van het land waar je op dat moment bent. Overweeg je je huisdier mee te nemen op vakantie, bekijk dan vooraf of dit kan en of er extra regels zijn. Voor honden, katten en fretten geldt dat ze gechipt moeten zijn en een paspoort moeten hebben. Ook moeten ze ten minste 21 dagen voor vertrek worden ingeënt tegen hondsdolheid (rabiës).
In sommige landen zijn bepaalde hondenrassen en kruisingen daarvan niet welkom. Het kan ook zijn dat er regels gelden zoals verplicht muilkorven en aanlijnen.

Is er een dier achtergelaten zonder de juiste verzorging of maak je je om een andere reden zorgen om een dier? Wij helpen je graag verder via 📞 #144
