A Brief History Of Tucker

Posted by jamesviscosi on May 8, 2008

It seems there’s been some concern about whether or not we have been able to get help from Tucker’s breeder regarding his condition, so we’d like to assure any interested parties that we’ve been in regular communication with them for the entire time we’ve had Tucker (i.e., his whole life). He has always been a perfectly fit and healthy dog, so when he began exhibiting these odd symptoms, one of the first things we did was get in touch with them to find out if any of his brothers or sisters or any other dogs in his line had developed something similar. (None have.)

In our opinion, we couldn’t have asked for a better breeder. They have always been helpful, interested, informative, and supportive, and even stopped by to visit Tucker out here in California when they were in the state for an event. (That’s a long way from Toronto, Ontario!) We apologize if we gave anyone the impression that we have not been able to reach the breeder or that we posted the video of Tucker because the breeder has been unhelpful, because nothing could be further from the truth. We would have no hesitation whatsoever about getting another dog from them, and I think that pretty much says all that needs to be said.

    I am SO SPEECHLESS at the moment ……… how? why would anyone ……

    You must have deleted those posts and I don’t blame you.

    Jim says: Actually if they had come and posted here, that would have been better because then we could have corrected them. Instead someone evidently just sent e-mails directly to Tucker’s breeder. I’m not sure who was more upset, the breeder or my wife …

    I make it a policy not to delete any posts (except for spam), not even the ones taking me to task for trashing August Rush. ;-)

    oh my gosh. well, it never looked to me like you were implying anything that was bad about the breeder. you have been very careful to show that you’re seeking information, not laying blame.

    I hope that you can find help for poor Tucker!
