Unfortunately, I lost contact with Logan's owner, after I was told, and had proof, that she gave him away.
Logan was sold with a contract to say he must be returned to me if he could not be kept. for whatever reason, no questions asked. But Ms R consistently denied this and said he was still living with her.
He was used at stud with a red Border Collie to produce a litter of cross breeds, and Ms R tried to pass them off as pure Rough Collies on social media,
boasting Logan was now a provden stud. She has since also told someone she owned the Border Collie herself.
I spoke with the owner of the Border Collie after seeing the advert for the puppies and she confirmed that Mrs R
had told her he did not live with her, but she was able to use him as and when.
I was heartbroken to lose contact and even spoke with the new owners who initially confirmed they owned a tri colour Rough Collie, named Logan, who even had the same markings. But once they knew who I was they denied it was the same dog.
On their facebook page there was a photo of their dog 'Logan' lying on a personalised blanket I had sent the Logan I bred, for his first birthday.
Update April 2020
Logan was given back to Mrs R, and as she didn't want him, she made enquiries to try and get him rehomed with Collie Rescue.
She did not make it clear she had not bred him herself as he was still under contract to be returned to me.
Unfortunately Rescue were unable to help as it was right in the middle of lockdown, and she told Rescue he had bitten his previous owner.
She also mentioned he had been provoked as the owner was drunk and had abused him, which had apparently been going on for some time.
A gentleman who had lost his own Rough Collie contacted Collie rescue looking for a dog. They didn't have anything suitable, but put him in contact with Mrs R. Although she was not willing to transport himself and said he may be put to sleep. This gentleman was unable to drive at the time as he had surrendered his driving licence.
By chance he called another breeder in his area looking for a young adult, and he mentioned Logan, said he had been interested in having the dog, but could not get him due to transport problems. By chance, this breeder recognised the dog put two and two together and contacted me.
It was not an easy operation during the COVID-19 guidelines, but we found a courier,
and transported him 3 hours away where he is settled and very much loved.
September 2020
Just when you think Logan is settled Mrs R comes out of the woodwork believing she can use him at stud
and actually had the nerve to offer him at stud to someone saying he was living with a friend, so she could get a puppy back.
This is the woman who didn't want him, and was prepared to have him euthanised.
Just to put the record straight, Logan has a lovely temperament, he goes to the groomers regularly and smothers the girls with kisses.
Clearly you wouldn't want to use a dog that had a dodgy temperament anyway, would you J***?
Everything above can be proved and is fact, and having spoken with the KC and Solicitors, I can 100% confirm
that Logan does not belong to Ms R, and she has no right to use him, irrespective of the Registration documents which she miracously found,
having preivously been mislaid.
