Well...I was fooled...fooled by some really "nice" people, or so I thought. I bought Isabelle from Brenda & Evan in April 2007. Isabelle is now 3 years old. It took forever to get her "papers"...and since I have bred dogs in my past...something was wrong...her "papers" were from an Association, and on a tiny piece of paper, with her "sire" and "dam" mentioned. It was Nothing, absolutely nothing like formal papers that I have received in the past, and have supplied in the past, to my puppy parents.
I have contacted the UKC...as Bulldog Ravine, told me she was UK registered...well...guess what?? The wonderful dog (I guess I was extremely lucky now that I read these horror stories of health problems, and such) that I had every intention of breeding, won't be bred. I will not breed my wonderful example of a Bulldog, because I have NO clue what her lineage is. I have no clue what her family history of health problems are, or could be...I will NOT take a chance of producing poor quality puppies, as a result of my getting screwed by Bulldog Ravine. Isabelle will be spayed now. I love Isabelle, and I had about 6 people that were interested in having some of her puppies, if I was ever going to breed her. Not now.
I love her with all my heart...I just won't ever trust a breeder like I did Bulldog Ravine. To think that all of this has come to pass...wow...what a fool I was!!!
