" it makes me sad when people publicly and intentionally try to hurt each other. Is it really that hard to just be nice????"
Mary Anne, The question I posed was posed as a new thread, hense the new subject name. I did not use anything pertaining to Margie's dog or dog's in the question. I was asking because I am curious as to how far a PO feels a breeder should go as far as financial obligation, even if the dog is given free of charge. I have heard of breeder's selling a puppy to a person who then raises the dog up, breeds the dog, sells the puppies, then the breeder (original) is sued because a puppy, out of a bitch they bred, bit someone. This to me is the perfect forum to gauge opinion. My posts to Margie were in response to Margie's posts. I personally have known Sterling before she owned him. I personally thought his call name was unique. I truely wish a long life to him, and hope he had a happy birthday. I have often asked Bobbie how he is doing. Here is my original post: <start> Happy Birthday Sterling! You are a beautiful boy and have some beautiful kids. We were talking about dog call names on the list. I have always thought that Sterling's was pretty neat. Sterling's call name comes from the fact that he is from England - "British Sterling." : ) His AKC name: Ch. Duntiblae Foreign Exchange is due to how he ended up in America. Bobbie Hefner through her friendship with Diana Cochran agreed to "exchange" puppies with her. Bobbie sent Diane a puppy, and Diane sent Bobbie Sterling, hence "Duntiblae Foreign Exchange". Anyway, I'm glad that Sterling is doing well. I always thought that it was very nice of Bobbie to give you co-ownership of Sterling and allow him to live with you, and to give you your girl Valentine as a gift. What is her full name? Guess I shouldn't be surprised though, I've always known Bobbie to be a very generous person. : ) <end> I apologize wholeheartedly to Marge Cherry if this post was found to be offensive. I DO think that Bobbie is a very generous person. I know MANY people she has given puppies to for free, no strings attached, no puppies back , no co-ownership, zip! When Margie Cherry responded to my post it was apparent, as in the past, she was being hostile toward me. I only answered her response. As another lister pointed out to me, they had seen a response in the past where I offered help to a novice and she jumped in and offered a sarcastic response. I have no personal dealings with Marge Cherry, I wish her no ill will, I have no reason to. I merely offered offered Happy Birthday, my insight to a beautiful dog's call & AKC name, both given, and said how generous I thought Bobbie was. Whatever you wish to read into this is I think must be related to your own personal reasons. If you want to keep going, go ahead. I ended my response. I went on. I suggest you do too. Bernerly, Mary
