Hi there,

I have posted a few times about my pup Shelbee.

Maybe I should introduce myself better now so you would know where i'm coming from with my story. I'm originally from Adminzona but now I live with my Husband in Kuwait he is a Contractor for the Military. I bought my first bulldog, Bailey with me who was shipped to the States from Argentina, he is beautiful and healthy. He is adapting very well. I've been here a little over a year.

My love for Bulldogs compelled me to bring home another. There aren't any breeders in Kuwait so I looked into international breeders. I may need to mention that I am not a breeder and i'm spaying/neutering my pups.

I brought Shelbee from a breeder in Russia. Yep huge mistake. I heard they had a bad rep with regards to breeding but I though I had done my homework. She arrived, was pretty healthy aside from cherry eye. Lucky for me the vet here is Italian and he is a Bulldog Breeder back in Italy so he had her eyes fixed and she's perfect now.

Problem now is the breeder will not send her pedigree papers! I have e-mailed her 3 times and not even a reply. I checked her guest book on site and many Americans had posted about the same thing. I e-mailed one person and her dog was sick and she had spent $4000 on vet bills and she's still sick. I complained to RKF but they hadn't replied either. So I finally sent an e-mail to FCI. They forwarded my msg to RKF requesting them to look into it. It has been a week. Nothing.

What can I do? What can FCI do? Its not a matter of Shelbee's Pedigree because I know she probably doesn't have one considering her faults (looks and health) but I need to make poeple aware of that breeder considering most people purchasing their puppies from there are mostly from different States in the US.

I don't know how the system works here, can I post the name of russian website here?

P.S. I am having a third pup but this time from a reputable breeder recommended by my vet and he should be here on Sunday. Excitement!
