KAPUTAR TOP SECRET OF NEIGEPEARL

Tobys Story

We purchased Toby along with his two longcoat sisters, in 2006 from his owners who needed to urgently re-locate. Toby and his sisters were about 1 year old, had not been socialized, trained or looked after at all. His two sisters were extremely shy, though Toby was the toughest one out of them all!

Toby is out of one of our Neigepearl pups from our 1^st litter, Neigepearl Arctic Ice (Neo) from an accidental litter. Neo mated with his owners female, Baron Trinity, at just 6 months old. (A lesson to all people who two dogs who shouldn’t be allowing them to breed!)

Our dear friend, trainer and assessor, Rachel Devenish-Meares (Schatzfunde) drove to assess his temperament and pick him up for me (as he was interstate and many hours away from us). Rachel loved her time with Toby and he settled in very fast with her.

One of our close Swedish contacts in the breed expressed a lot of interest in Toby to bring new bloodlines to Sweden and Europe. We gave all the information on our dogs and bloodlines so they could make an informed decision with importing Toby. One of our goals is to improve the breed on a world-wide scale, and with the genepool of whites urgently requiring expanding, so we entered into a bloodline exchange contract. We were to pay for all expenses relating to Toby, including his purchase price, hip and elbow x-rays, microchips, vaccinations and all vaccines and requirements needed to export him to Sweden. In return, we were to choose a puppy of our choice from Europe, to bring some new bloodlines in to Australia.

Exporting Toby was a very lengthy and expensive process. Since Toby had to first have his x-rays, vaccinations etc, wait for bloodtests to see if they were in his system before export, Toby was being cared for by our close friend, Ange at Alpinarc Kennels. Whilst at Alpinarc Kennels, Toby was a very bad boy, chewing his way through fences, doors and a dog trailer to get to the females in season, one of which he soon after sired a litter to, Whitemist Tia.

When Toby arrived in Sweden, to our surprise, he went to live with another breeder there who we did not know. As long as he was being cared for and given everything, we were happy though. Toby starting tracking training and also did a bit of schutzhund.

We looked for a very long time for the right dog and the bloodlines to import back to Australia as per our contract. We are not sure why, but the breeder we chose to get a puppy from in the Netherlands, who is well respected and reputatable breeder, was not liked by our Swedish contact. Our contact delayed payment to the breeder then refused to pay the breeder. All the puppies were sold, including the one we chose.

Since there was no other dogs or bloodlines we liked at the time, we requested the Swedish contact just reimburse us the money we paid for Toby to be exported. We started to have problems with this also, so we had to employ the services of a lawyer. Our agreement had been broken and there was a working relationship breakdown as a result.

It took over two years for us to get our money back for Toby via the lawyer we employed. We have learnt a very hard lesson in trust in this situation, but are glad to see that Toby is fit, well, earning working titles and producing some nice puppies in Sweden.

Tobys story is certainly one of rags to riches!
