Nwy/Aust Ch Kissena My Lolita

Kate as she is known to those that love her,was bred/sold/exported by me to a kennel in Norway as a puppy,to someone who had promised me that she would be loved and that she would have a permanent home for her entire lifetime,as she was a special little girl. She was shown to her NCH title,by the person who bought her from me,and then she was bred to Ir Ch Romar Heir Apparant (Cole). Her litter of three puppies was registered in Norway,as being born on the 13/04/2004 in Norway (two black males and one black bitch).
Kate was then sold on from Norway to Stewart Budd & Roger Schipp of sauvage Poodles in Australia..........
A HOME WORTHY OF HER!!!!!!!!!!.
She arrived in Australia in August 2004 (approx 4 mths after producing her litter of puppies in Norway).
I know that she is happy with you both,well loved and spoilt,and that she is with you for her lifetime,without having to think or worry about her being sold on to someone else again,like a piece of excess baggage.
As most breeders would agree,it is always appreciated,if the owner of a dog that they bred,informs them of their intention to sell on the dog to another person,especially if they had been in constant daily contact,with the breeder. Unfortunately,this was NOT the case when it came to Kate or her brother Thomas. I was informed AFTER THE FACT,that Kate's brother "Thomas",was supposedly on loan to Russia for 12 months. I spent endless hours on the internet,before managing to find out where he was in Russia,and that he had in fact been sold on,and NOT loaned out. I hope that he is now very happy in his new home in Russia.
I was also lied to about "Kate". When I asked how she was doing,I was told that she was happy,playing with her puppies,and doing well at home in Norway. I found out,that Kate had in fact been sold on to Australia. I was informed AFTER THE FACT by her previous owner in Norway that she was supposedly on loan for 12 months to Australia.
Kate was sold to Australia as an "Optigen-A- tested bitch",and was supposedly pregnant(a repeat mating of her previous litter in Norway),when shipped over to Australia.Neither of the above was in fact the truth. She was NOT Optgen tested,and had in fact never been Optigen tested by her previous owner in Norway. She was also NOT PREGNANT on her arrival in Australia.She came into season shortly after her arrival in Australia,so it is quite obvious that she had never been mated prior to her leaving Norway.
Kate had to be Optigen tested by her new owners in Australia,when it was discovered that lies had been told to them regarding ME supposedly testing her here in Ireland,before selling her to Norway. I appreciate the fact that Roger & Stewart got in touch with me,thus enabling me to find out about all the lies being circulated/told about me. I had to put Optigen to the trouble,of having to confirm with me in writing a list of all the dogs which I had tested,which did not include Kate. I want to say a big thank you to Roger & Stewart for initially contacting me with regards to Kate.and the problems that surrounded her purchase from Norway.I am most grateful that you contacted me,to notify me of what was going on.with regards to Kate. I wish to apologise to both of you on Kate's behalf,as I am sure that you will never get an apology from anyone else,for all of the problems which you had with purchasing her and getting her paperwork. Thank you for keeping in such close contact with me,as well as for sending me her Aust Ch title. You did an outstanding job of presenting and showing her in Australia. I wish both of you and Kate's son Sauvage All In One (Santo),the very best for the showring in the future. I look forward to watching his show career from the sidelines.
