I'm really upset to be reading this. Did none of the advice that Jacqui gave you work in controlling the cramping?

Hi Sammy,we are very sorry to hear of the loss of such a young bitch, as the breeders of the sire Chunky we can definately confirm there is no interbreeding in him whatsoever. We have just rehomed two dog pups out of this litter as family pets, one weighing 29lbs and 23" and growing quite leggy the smaller one is 25lb and 20 1/2" strong but definately not musclebound. pm us if you need anymore info Les.

Some of the advice worked abit but she would have no cramps for a while then maybe five or six through the night keepingus up and down all night Jaquie promised me alot more info but never came back to me The cramps we worked with but the fits did not start until she was about five months old she would actually crunch her jaw yelp lie on the ground and when she recovered she was dazed and frightened it was really sicking and distressing to watch 5mins later she was back to herself We were affaird to leave her unattend And affaird to let in the house with the child minder The vet thought it might be eplilesey And agreed the the quailty of live was limited for her and us .When we paid £200 for this wee dog out what was supposed to well bted race dog we did not expect to buy into a special needs dog We were affaird to pen the dog with the whippets or trust it around children.

Well I'm absolutely devastated.

I wish you'd of got in touch again or spoken to the breeders.

Rest In Peace Echo, I'm so sorry things have turned out the way they have for you, :'(

I know we had a lengthy chat on the phone (and your wife) where I'd suggested not only getting in contact with the breeder but also the stud dog owner to give you reassurances about Echo after all the derogatory remarks you'd had from racers in Ireland. If you was still having trouble why didn't you ring or contact the breeder like I'd said?

I know what's done is done and I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision to make but I just feel your trying to blame the very people who would of done their upmost to help you.

Sammy, shame on the breeders for not getting in touch with you. Unless there is a genuine reason for not contacting you they are a disgrace. Any genuine person would refund you the money you paid for the pup or make it up to you some other way. In my opinion they are poor representatives for the non-ped community. May sound like strong words but i believe it with my whole heart. Again if there's a genuine reason for them still not contacting you i'll take back my words.
