With deep regret, I feel the need to share this. I wasn’t going to because, like in the beginning, this could have been handled differently. After getting several messages that there is going to be retaliation, I’m going to tell my side. If you want to know more, ask the others listed as breeders .
Original name on this puppy since October 2023: Cricket CreeknThornbush R Having a Blast@ Heels 2 Ewe “Blast”
This puppy was GIFTED to me by all 3 breeders , NO CONTRACT. The stipulation was that Cricket Creek was to be used first in the registration name and then the other kennel names as desired. Three of us were listed as co owners as agreed. I DID THIS. Everyone was happy.
I started training and showing the puppy, getting puppy points in November .
In November, two of the co-owners had a disagreement with each other ( nothing to do with me) this disagreed actually took them to court about the litter.
In November I called AKC to ask them if the puppy’s name could be changed since she had already had points, even though they were puppy points. At that time I was told by AKC that the registered name Could Not be Changed, and continue to show her.
March- 2024 , Two of the breeders went to court over the entire litter, after the judgment was finale. One breeder took all of the puppies that the other breeder kept ( they split the litter , excluding the one they all gifted to me)
For more information on this contact the breeders.
At this time I have no idea of what is going on , I’m having fun with my puppy, took her to her first official show and got more points on her at 6 months old. After making my announcement that she won , I was contacted and asked not to show her for awhile, I of course asked why. This is when I was told that her name was going to be changed and that A co- owner was going to be denied.
July- I was sent a copy of my puppies registration, her name was changed and only One OWNER was listed . When I called,said Owner, she sent me an email saying that she would not take any phone calls, she would take only texts or emails. And she changed her mind about co owning with me UNLESS I could Guarantee that the other breeders would have nothing to do with this puppy or her babies. Now she had all this changed without my knowledge! Akc did NOT contact me in any way to let me know that someone was trying to remove my name . I did not sign the back of the Original registration.
August- AKC admits that my name should NOT have EVER been Removed from the registration certificate.
Now- I hear she wants to retaliate.
Why- I don’t know, Greed, Narcissistic Personality
I got this puppy thinking that this journey would be fun, I’ve never had problems with two of the breeders that are on this puppy.
But this has turned into a nightmare, not just for me but for other people as well. Trust goes along way, I put in 110 percent to all of my dogs . I’ve tried to handle this diplomatic but I need to get this out there for anyone that might co - own . This time co- owning has not been good!
