Deb Rimkus, Bach Shelties, sick breeding dogs

I was one of the unlucky people that bought a dog from these people. He came to me underweight, dirreahea, and very scared of his own shadow. This boy was bought as a show/breeding male.

His hips were OFA'd in March and failed but redone in April and passed.

Tried to breed this boy in Sept. And he was not able to sustain an erection. I was able to get a sample from him, and did have a litter of puppies. Two almost died at 14 days of age. As of December he became very ill. Went to the vet and had blood work done on him. His blood work turned out to be high in some areas and low in others but nothing to worry about. Dirreahea is still happening at this time but now there is blood in it.

Trying to get it under contol at all times.in Feb. This boy was put into the hospital because he was not doing well. He needed to go on intervenous and antbiotics. He was in over night. The breeders wanted him shipped home to them so that there vet could take a look at him. My vet said that he would not survive the flight.

In April he was pooping blood in pools. I brought him into the vet again and at that time this boy had to be put to sleep. Samples of the growth in his bowels were sent out to clinics and he was found to have 4 different types of cancer.

This boy had only been in my home for 10 months. Both breeders feel that since I had, had a litter out of him then they should not have to do anything. To this date there are two pups out of this litter that I am still paying the vet bills for.

It was confermed by microchip by my vet that this is the same dog that I had recieved the following May.

This is going into small claims action.

I have been in contact and contacted with other people that have bought dogs from this breeder and they are having problems as well.
