"reputable." They claimed to be a "code of ethics" breeder, and their success in the show ring was notable. Upon calling them they sure talked the talk.
Now there is a web site denouncing the owners for every possible crime in the book. Pse see Thunder Valley Rottweilers Customer Club — Featured Stories How can the innocent public be alerted to people like this. Everything was done as has been recommended by the Rottweiler Forum. Yet they slipped through the cracks . Why?
Luckily for me, a Thunder Valley male was sent to stud to an "outside" bitch, so we have a wonderful little girl. Is she a show dog, no. However after reading the aforementioned site, who cares. What is annoying though is when the " experts" admonish the people starting out, they just don't address the real issue. There are crooks out there. How can they be stopped? |
Like you said, when looking at their website, talking to them on the phone, through their e-mails. Seeing ThunderVly dogs being shown at a local show, I thought they were COE breeders. It was after he was shipped to me and the issues with him I started to question them. He came to me really dirty too.
I am glad that you have a very sweet girl.
