[Dailydrool] Breeder in Red Bluff

[Dale Rutz]

Sounds to me like you are talking about south fork kennel who dumped all their 
unsaleable bassets on Golden Gate Basset rescue bac, in 2009 and then reportedly 
went right back into business under another name.  

If you go to the GGBR.org you can read about the latest and yes, word has it 
they are back at it again.

Be careful about confronting anyone at the property, I'm told folks aren't the 
gentle type there.

------------------------------------------


Almost two years ago we traveled to Sacramento to pick up our ever so loving 
Daisy (then named Midnight) from a foster family.    She had been one of the 63 
dogs rescued from a puppy breeding mill shut down because of abuse.    Daisy has 
become the most affectionate, sweet, groaning, stare at you with her piercing 
deep eyes, in love with us, never could imagine our family without her member. 
 Our nickname for her is "Pinoccia," because she has become "a real dog" 
(Pinoccio became a real boy...).   

We will be visiting friends in Red Bluff next week and I would like to take this 
opportunity to check out the breeder she was rescued from in 2009.   When we 
visited  other basset families in 2010 at the Waddle we were told they were back 
in business.    It has haunted us since then, and my husband and I feel an 
obligation to check it out because of what we feel must have been extensive 
abuse.    Daisy trembled for the first six months of her life with us, would not 
pass through a doorway if we were anywhere near it, coward at loud noises, would 
roll over in submission whenever we touched her, would not stick up for herself 
with our other basset, and generally trembled and quaked at our every attempt to 
show her love. 
  
Even with all this, she never showed any aggression towards anyone.   We always 
joke that she would be an excellent pet for a family with small children to tug 
on her or dress her up.   Fast forward to today, she now dances around with our 
12  year old Ladybug (irritating her to no end), goes wild with joy when we 
rattle the leash, lays on Ladybug (who grumbles and groans), and knows she has 
landed in a good place...the only tell tale signs of her former life is that she 
will only eat in our bathroom, light on, no one around.  

Does anyone know the breeder I am talking about, any idea if they are still 
harming other loving bassets?

Thanks, and we really enjoy reading some of the postings on weekends and can not 
imagine our lives without our furry, "squisher," fairly high maintenance (teeth, 
weekly baths, shedding!, nails, ears...), family members.
