I know your all wondering what in the world has happened to transpire this change I have made. I will tell you in a nutshell in order to keep my sanity. I know you will all want to know.
About 3 weeks ago a lady who I had been in contact with from Florida contacted me again. She stated that she wanted me to give her names and addresses of families who had my dogs in her area so that she could see them up close and personal and visit with my families personally. I of course told her that wasn't going to happen and that I worked very hard at my kind words section on my website to give people a very inside look at what I have going on and references. I thought that was the end of that.
Well, I received a call from my very good friend who happens to have two of my dogs with a strange question. The minute she spoke the womens fist name I thought to myself that crazy women! She had gone through my site and from just a couple of key words, I thought to be harmless managed to find this family. I was and still am mortified and livid! After visiting with my friend, I promptly called this women and am ashamed to say I was a bit harsh.
What this issue has brought up is something that I guess we all feel we are immune to. The internet is a very helpful tool and I love it. However it just goes to show you that we all need to be careful with what is out on the net. I thought I was being careful with not posting last names and what I felt was hurtful information. What I guess I and many others out there don't realize is that if someone is dead set on finding out your personal information they can do it and very easily.
So while it saddens me to post only photos and information relevant to information needed to help those with choosing a new puppy, I know it is the right thing to do. I will not be held accountable for the actions of some crazy person who may or may not have intent to violate any family who has entrusted myself and CC's for a new puppy and family member. While I love to show off my families and my pups I feel the risk is just too great to your family, children and grandchildren.
So I ask that you please give me some time to get some new pages up and going. Remember they will be pretty sterile, but this is the way it will be.
I appreciate your understanding in this matter.
My Warmest Regards to all my CC friends
