Victoria Driggs Gold-Berg Shepherds is now Vom Berlin - Page 2

I remember that pup,  it had a white sock didn't it?  and when you recieved it the white wasn't there,  but after bathing and the pup growing the white magically appeared.

Uber, ... Victoria wrote them and explained in black and white how to dye the pup to show it and ewxplained exactly what toxic substance to use!!! 

The whole topic is rather timely, given the recent organizational response to dyeing dogs for the show ring. Ms. Vickie remarried her fist ex-husband and is probably going by a name other than Driggs, now. Same bought hair, teeth and b's, though. :-)


This post was unnecessarily bitchy!  I can only plead aggravation, as phonies and hypocrits  bring out the worst in me.

BUMP

I don't remember telling her how to dye the pup,  just what product other people used (this was the product mittelwest swore by).  I personally wouldn't dye a dog.  it is unethical and just not very honest.

Not YOU telling them- Victoria. :-) (I am using a handheld and the punctuation gets screwed up)

Our "show quality pup" that was "suitable for breeding" arrived at the airport with 2 white front socks.

Months later and only after winning in court did Victoria admit to us in a email …

"you really do have the same puppy as the one you wanted, I used Kalium Permanganate on his feet and was going to tell you that if you wanted to show him you would have to spray this on his feet until the white disappeared. Kindly, Victoria "

We have yet to receive his papers as promised. 

Mary D can give you her present location and, I think, the name she is using now. Weren't papers part of the judgment?

So is this hearsay or fact?

We made the mistake of not including a request for his papers in our initial judgment.  We tried to have it included as the process was ongoing, but was then told we would have to file a seperate request.  We were pleased the court awarded our monies back and have considered filing again for his papers...but life has a way of getting in the way and time goes on.  We can't show him and we can't breed him so that kind of makes it less pressing..but we would still obviously like to have them.  Perhaps this will prompt us to get back on the ball.  I'm afraid it may open a whole new can of worms as to what we may or may not find out.  

I know when you google Kennel Gold-Berg several negative reports show up...perhaps this is why she is adding another kennel name...

Looks as if there are plenty of pups/litters from which to choose!

A little about the chemical compound potassium permanganate: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_permanganate#Biomedical_uses Unless combined with other substances, it is not a harsh or noxious chemical. It comes as a blackish crystals or in a tablet form. When dissolved in water, the resulting solution turns a magenta color. When the solution dries as a stain (as on hair or skin) and is oxidized, it becomes potassium oxide which has a characteristic brownish tinge (will not wash off in the rain).

It has been used in Germany for coloring GSDs for many years. Deceptive? Yes--better than breaking tails!
