"bear" Elkhound

 

Your Elkhound Bear looks like my youngest Inka, and I suspect may be her half brother by the sire that I bred.

 

His age would be correct for him to be bred by a friend of mine in September. He would have been sold with a contract asking you to contact the breeder should he ever need re-homing.

 

I know his breeder would be most upset if you have not asked her help in homing him, as an ethical breeder bound by a strict club Code of ethics that means a breeder has a lifelong responsibility for the pups they breed.

 

Please get in touch with her ASAP.

 

If I am mistaken and he does not come from an ethical breeder/member of the Norwegian Elkhound club of Great Britain, then I suggest you get in touch with the breeds Rescue: http://www.elkhound-rescue.org.uk/

that maybe so but the "contract" is not worth the paper its printed on.

and im not given the dog back so it can be sold or "rehomed" for a fee.

at the end of the day i paid for the dog its mine to do with how i wish.

 

and the reason i dont go on the elkhound boards is i sent his breeder some pics awhile back and the response i got was just a few words that barely made a sentance.

 

Dont get me wrong the elkhound communitity [sp] is tight and has kept the breed fit for its purpose and not allowed it to be messed up like some breeds are but i dont want the speil rammed down my throat.

Dogs that are returned to the breeder, in our breed at least are not sold on, but carefully homed to vetted people who understand the breed, to avoid them getting passed from pillar to post.

 

You will find that a dog of this age will have no resale value, the priority is a good home.

 

I didn't breed him, but as I did breed his Father, and also owned his Mother's Father in partnership with his breeder and two other friends and have their relatives in my home I am obviously concerned for his welfare.

 

As to how much contact the breeder has had with you, that can be tricky as many people resent too much interference, as evidenced by your reply to me.

 

I am also in regular touch with one of his sisters owners. Contact works both ways, and you have just one breeder to keep in touch with, where the breeder has many owners/puppies to keep in mind.

 

I love to hear from my puppy owners, but generally leave them to contact me when they need/want to. So with some I have very regular contact, and with others just the occasional, as peoples wants and needs vary. Don't for one minute think I don't care equally for all of their welfare as does any good breeder.

 

At the very least you should let the breeder know where he has been re-homed to, if you wish to handle his homing yourself, that is fine, after all having to keep an adolescent male, when she has males of her own would make things difficult, but it is something a responsible breeder does.

 

It is always best if a dog can go straight from the original home to a new one, but the breeder is more likely to be able to find suitable new owners than you are. As you say we are a tight knit community and help each other for the good of the dogs.

 

Why not post on the breed board, perhaps a suitable home can be found from the network of members there, who know and understand the breed.

 

Your post made the situation seem urgent, and it could easily take weeks or months to find the right home.

i understand contact is two way but the times i was in contact with t the response was barely a sentance about the pics and when i mentioned about him being funny when the bulldog was in season i was told i shouldnt get another dog ,

lol

 

so why should i bother?

To be honest I fail to understand what management advice over a young males reactions to an in season bitch has to do with letting the breeder know the dog is in need of re-homing.

 

What sort of response were you looking to get? The advice not to have another dog would be appropriate.

 

Whatever you decide to do, you signed a contract with the breeder and should have the courtesy to let her know what is happening.

[Flamin'Nora! 50]

I had a pure collie bitch a few years back that I signed a contract with the breeder that she must go back to her if rehoming. She cost me £300 as a pup, my plan was to bring her on til she was about 3 or 4 and if she was a good enough worker I would put a good greyhound over her to produce some collie/grey first crosses. In the end up I changed my mind and I returned her to the breeder as I feel if you give your word to do something like that you should honour it. But then she always kept in touch and showed a keen interest in the dogs progress and I felt it was the right thing to do, I can understand it would be a hard decision to make if you and the breeder dont see eye to eye or they have never shown any interest in the dog at all. Good luck and hope you get a good home

[forest of dean redneck 11,699]

why ?

 

no doubt she already knows

 

at the end of the day im not going to pursue contact when its practically one sided i cantalk to myself all the time.

 

im not going to let him go to anyone wirh cash burning hole in their pocket,

but im sure someone will want a well bred elkhound for less than a puppy farmed one

and less than half of what a pup costs off a kc breeder.

 

the price is their to deter freebie hunters.

Its his dog up to him what he does with it,they were quick enough taking the £ in the first place they should of been more choosey of who they sold it to if there that bothered.
