Archie's Story

Archie was first brought from me around year 2000 by Kerry Dominguez of 4962 Cherry Street, Stouffeville On. By the time he was a year old Kerry and her family (husband and three sons) decided to give up Archie to a rescue organization. Kerry never contacted me as his breeder, had she done so I would have found Archie a home as I have with the 2-3 other families who have had to part with their pups for various reasons.  Lillian came to Archie's rescue, they picked him up and gave him a loving home with her husband and young daughter. Lillian contacted me immediately and often sent e-mails to keep in touch on what a great dog Archie was.

 In August 2003 Kerry contacted the rescue organization and asked for another OES as she wished she hadn't parted with Archie. Then Kerry contacted Lillian to inquire about OES.  Apparently Kerry had a Cockapoo who had been killed by a car just recently and she wanted to replace it. Then Kerry contacted me! She lied to me that Archie was such a wonderful dog, her youngest son had learnt to walk with him, he was there beside her and her kids loved him so much and as they were off to school now she wanted another pup to train just like Archie!

 When I confronted Kerry about her lying she defended it as being justified as her husband had taken a stroke at the time and couldn't work and she had cancer and couldn't work either! Her friend told her to lie to me so she did! Now she and her husband are both well again and want another Archie! 

 I owe a huge thank you to Lillian, and I hope that all of our pups will always live in such happy homes as Archie. If anyone is aware of any of our dogs being given up for rescue or neglected in any way I want to know about it. If any of our families find themselves in a situation where they need to find a home for their OES call me, life is not always a bed of roses and through our network of loving OES families we can always find loving homes - and ensure that pups do not get adopted by people who teach their children that dogs are disposable!

 Here is pick of Archie, this should also be added to our descendants map, and then a link back to his story please. H lives in Toronto with Lillian
