January 30, 2007 - I am surprised at the
amount of responses I've had to this web page - I didn't realize
there were so many "non-Halfmoon" folks out there that
kept tabs on the Halfmoon dogs.
Whomever took it upon themselves to forward this page around the
Aussie community -
I suppose I should thank you. Awareness is the first step
in prevention.
I hope that this never has to happen to anyone else
again.
This is a horrible thing to have to go through and I wouldn't
wish this "unknowning" unto anyone.
Surprisingly as well, *J* suddenly remembered my phone number
and left me a voice message
that we "have something to talk about". She also
sent me an email telling me that if I didn't take down the
page
that legal action will be taken. I replied that if she can
tell me what part is not true I would
be more than happy to remove it. I have received no
response.
So again, whomever circulated the page thank
you.
I've been told that the message/discussion that was circulating
along with the web page link
"don't do business with Gwen - look see how she treats the
stud dog owners".
Thank you. Sincerely.
I will never again breed one of my dogs to someone who feels as
calloused about puppies as *J* & *L* do.
When we breed a litter and subsequently place those puppies it
is with the full and complete understanding
that we, the breeders, will be kept informed of their growth,
health, progress and where-abouts.
It is also with the full and complete understanding that WE as
the breeders have the right to chose where we want to place our
puppies and under what conditions they will live. We also
make it completely clear that at ANY
time those puppies will no longer be with the folks that we
initially placed them with that they COME BACK HERE.
Since we brought them into this world it is OUR decision where
they will end up.
BOTH *L* & *J* agreed, although verbally, to this condition.
For those curious, yes, this is partially MY fault. There
was no contract. I was told by *J* upfront, before
any breedings took place, that because I was "invited to
the party" that she didn't feel there needed to be
any type of contract. We learned that we need to have a
contract in all situations to show what
was agreed to by both parties. We will also never do
business
on a supposed "FAVOR" because "we like
you". You get what you pay for.
How much do you think a stud fee is worth?
I have yet to come across ANYONE who thinks that pick #2 &
pick #3 -
that is TWO VERY nice puppies is anywhere near the cost of a
legitimate stud fee.
One puppy was the stud fee - the one given to the original party
to the contract - *J*.
The other puppy was a gesture of sympathy and even more so, a
symbol of our generousity.
I don't know of anyone, yet, that would pay TWO stud fees for a
single litter.
Don't allow yourself to be dupped by "senior
breeders". Don't do things because you are made to
feel badly for someone else.
Breed for yourself, keep what you want, and then place the
others.
If you are looking to maliciously circulate information
regarding this situation, again, thank you.
If it saves one person from making the mistakes that I have
made, then it is by far worth your efforts.
Helen 6 weeks old
she was given to Lynn Cobb Conn and her where-abouts are currently is
unknown
This beautiful puppy has been registered as "HALFMOON
LESSONS LEARNED"
and the stated owner of record is Gwen Hayes.
We sincerely hope that she is still alive and that she is doing
well and is healthy and happy.
**We are offering a REWARD for Helen's safe return to us and we
would appreciate ANY information on this puppy.**
We've offered to BUY back this puppy.
If you have this puppy, please understand we want to know where
she is and
how she is doing, as any good breeder would want to know.
Halfmoon Hoosier Daddy 6 weeks old
he was originally owned by Jackie Bayes . His where-abouts
are currently unknown.
We sincerely hope that he is still alive and that he is doing
well and is healthy and happy.
This puppy was the "stud fee" puppy for this
litter.
Any information on this puppy would be greatly appreciated.
