Это открытое письмо Ольги Киршиной, опубликованное вчера на ФБ. Сорри, я не стала его перевдить, но это легко сделать через переводчики
Оно проникнуто жуткой болью и горечбю заводчика, которого обманули бесчестные владельцы.
"Open letter from Breeder to Dog Owner who euthanized a young dog.
I am a hobby breeder. In 2011-2015 I bred 3 litters. I kept 2 females, 17 puppies went to 9 countries. Those 19 souls came to the world by my will. My female and the males who sired those litters did not know each other. The will of the breeder connected them. The hands of the breeder met their newborn babies, embraced them and cared of them 8-10 weeks. The heart of the breeder brightened their first days with incredible love. They left their nest but not my heart. Nobody has the right to take their lives which I gifted them.
Some breeders breed for money, some for pleasure, some for the love to the breed. Beware of the breeder who does not take his puppy back when the owner cannot keep it by any reason. His responsibility and love are less than money which he receives for a puppy. If you meet a breeder who follows his puppies, who is interested in their problems, you may agree with him or go away. If you are an independent person you may look for another breeder. If you decide to stay the breeder will share your joy and your troubles. If you sign an agreement please be honest and don't breach it. You deal with the person who prepared for you the best gift in the world: living creature. He trusts you and you should trust him and be friendly.
In January 2014 I sent you a puppy. Healthy, sweet, beautiful, strong girl. You signed the contract: "Should it be necessary for Purchaser to dispose of the animal, it is agreed that Breeder will be given first right of refusal.'' Bibi was growing and you told me about her loving and kind heart and good temperament. In November 2015 she was 2 years old and you wrote me ''She is very happy and loves to play with Pyret’s puppies''. I knew that 2016 was a hard and busy year for you but I believed that your four youngsters and elder dogs were well and you did the best for them. I believed you would contact me if you could not keep Bibi by any reason. You never complained till February 2017 when you suddenly wrote about your plans to euthanize the dog.
I could not understand from your message if Bibi was really very sick or her behavior is unusual, and how long it had lasted. No details, no documents. I asked you - no answer. I wrote you: ''I am ready to take Bibi, to diagnose and heal her''. I realized that you probably had no money and time for the treatment. I wanted to discuss all details including shipping...I sent messages but you kept silence for a month. Then 30.03 you shortly informed me about euthanasia.
Now you say that the problems began in Sept.2015: Bibi became aggressive to other females, then to males, then for humans... In Nov. 2015 you decided not to show and breed her. How could you write me: ''She is very happy and loves to play with puppies''? It was false! You hid true information from me for many months! WHY? What did you want to hide? If it was a serious disease the breeder had to know. I was ready to hear any diagnosis. But now you say that the vets “could not find anything physically wrong with her''. I am sure you wanted to hide from me true reasons of Bibi’s tragedy. Meanwhile you complained to your friends who cared of you more than of Bibi. You convinced them how dangerous she was for your family. I read their tough comments to your post and they scared me with their cruelty. ''I would have done the same thing without blinking an eye! If Eva consider her dangerous, then there is no alternative! End of story!''- a well known Swedish breeder said. And all your friends agree. Dog breeders and owners speak about the dog with hate! A murderer has a right for a lawyer. Poor Bibi had no right for empathy. The only one person who could help her, her breeder, was far and did not know about her troubles.
Now when you have euthanized a young and physically healthy dog you still look for support of your friends. Did I do right thing?- you ask. No, you did not do right thing. And you know that. The right thing was to remember of your obligations and to contact the breeder when the problems began. And to return the dog when it was hard for you to keep her any longer. You did not tell your friends on Fb about the contract you had signed as a buyer. Your Norwegian friend wrote that it was bad for a dog to move to ''unknown person''(=her breeder). She concerned about the children whom she would bite living with me (I have no children at home, outdoors my dogs are always under control). Another doubted if I would take a sick dog according to my contract. Yes, I would take. You personally said you did not send Bibi because she could not manage the trip in airplane (we could find another way). You and your friends believe that death was better opportunity for the dog than breeder’s home. ''At least now you know where your Bibi is'', wrote the young Norvegian breeder…
I was shocked. I faced to the people who are sure: breeder does not know the problems of adult dog, he knows a puppy up to 8 weeks of age, later he is ''unknown person'' for the dog. Breeder must trust the owner. Completely!Always! They believe that dog owner can breach Sales Agreement. Some Swedish breeders never have in their contract an obligation to take the dog back. One of them asked me: ''Would you like to have breeding with the problems? Personally I would never sign such (contract)''.
Many people ask me if they can sell puppies to Sweden. Yes they can, to Sweden and to Norway...But I must warn them: when some of Swedish or Norwegian owners sign the contract they are ready to breach it. When they don't contact the breeders theydoes it consciously and in accordance with their ideas. When they decide to re-home, sell or euthanize the dog, they do it and the breeder will be the last who learns about it.
That was the third incident with my puppy in Sweden. Two males from another breeding weren't happy either. Your close friends, mother and daughter, neglected them. One of them (co-owned with me) was sold in poor mental and physical condition. Another one was announced for sale on Fb a year ago. The same style, the same words about ''horrible aggressive dogs'', the same hate to their breeder. Coincidence? Surely not!
I don't believe in life after death, but if I am mistaken...We know where is a proper place for such people!
I must add that my other16 puppies are well for now.
Without kind wishes,
Bibi’s breeder.
