jdarling Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was surfing around and found THIS WEBSITE. The collage ... seems to be familiar. Does anyone recognize the dog/photos/collage? Maybe I'm mistaken. I hope I am. Jodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Rook? It's definitely Christines' picture, her signature is on the bottom of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdarling Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Thanks Karen. That's who I thought it was originally and was the first place I looked. But Rook has a pretty flashy white collar. I couldn't make out the signature. Glad you could. I hope this guy has permission to use her photos. Rook?

Sue R Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'd come close to betting the farm that that guy does not have permission to use any of Christine's photos like that. The signature is her maiden name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdarling Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'm with you, Sue. Yet if you look under the "gallery" ... you get to this page. Not sure what that's about. Perhaps he knows David and I'm just poking where I don't belong? Then I see this. That dog's not really working a horse, is it? I mean, after all, this guy IS an expert, right?

jdarling Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 As I look further into this, the more I find. XPert JD's Border Collie Information That page goes from quoting the Border Collie Characteristics from the www.bordercollies.org website, where oddly enough, the last line reads: "The true Border Collie is known by how it works sheep and cattle, and by no other standard." And the very next line on his page is the description of the Border Collie as listed on the Canadian Kennel Club website. "GENERAL APPEARANCE Well proportioned, smooth outline showing quality, gracefulness and perfect balance, combined with sufficient substance to give impression of endurance. Any tendency to courseness or weediness undesirable." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdarling Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I've contacted Christine, and no, the guy does not have permission to use her photos. The collage is of David's Britton. Jodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 He does not have permission to use my photos and I thank you Jodi for brining this to my attention. The faded photo of the dog on both sides of his house is Britton and the collage on the main page is Britton. Also when you go to "Full Gallery" there is a collage of photos I took of McCloud and a photo I took of a bitch we used to own named Abby. In looking deeper into this website, I see that this is a guy that purchased a Britton x Abby pup from us years ago (JJ), but that still does not give him permission to use my photos. And he is no "x"pert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouBC Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Strange as it is, I'm pretty sure there's a picture of an Aussie that I adopted out as well. In the Full Gallery, the "Breeding My Dogs", I'm almost certain the first picture of a red tri Aussie is Otter. Funny, since I know for sure he's not with this guy, and I saw him loose his testicles so he's not breeding for anybody. The three red tri Aussies are also not the same dog. He also has a picture of JJ as a puppy that he also lists as a female puppy in the "puppies for sale" gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc1963 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hmm... My first thought was, "It's another imaginary kennel dreamed up by a 16-year-old girl with too much time on her hands." Seems to be real, though... At any rate, if some guy were taking my photos of my dog and posting them as if they were pups for sale on his (fantasy?) dog breeding site, I'd be e-mailing him turbo-style. (And why would he need to take photos of others' dogs if he were really a dog breeder?) Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I emailed him yesterday to take down the informational piece captioned "Introducing the Shepherd's Dog," which is lifted verbatim from the Breed Characteristics article on the USBCC website without permission or attribution. No response yet. I will be contacting his ISP, which is in the Netherlands, if he has not removed the piece by this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sea4th Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I don't know what this guy's game is, but I remember from years ago, X-Pert Am Staff kennels whose dogs were well known and are in most Am staffs pedigrees today. I hate to give this guy anymore hits to his website, but I did some quick looking and apparently he bought an Am Staff from X-Pert kennels in their last years. of existence, did well on the show circuit with one dog and that qualified him to use the modified X-pert name for his kennel name? He apparently then apparently bred Am Staffs for a while, and if you look under his description of his history with Am Staffs, at the very bottom, he says he is basically alive and well and living in Texas now, raising and training border collies. Why, I wonder and why he felt he had to hijack someone else's property. He doesn't have enough to back up his own claims? Oh, and he also has a link to "some more dogs I breed with". Now that's a visual I need to get out of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Oh, and he also has a link to "some more dogs I breed with". Now that's a visual I need to get out of my head.

And how are the passing Baptists* with that? ___________________ (* Many thanks to Mr McCaig for his original reference, and the smiles it raised, in another thread.) I can't resist any longer. According to Texas religious legend, Baptists don't like, shall we say, vertical breeding, because they think you're dancing. I tried, I really, really tried not to reply. I was raised Southern Baptist, and this is one of my favorite jokes. Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
