Found: Bi color Female VT ring sport trained

[trackermom]

Back in approximately April of 2009 the local ACO found a Bi black female running up and down the highway in VT. She is micro chipped but the chip was just located as it migrated in her muscle and down into her armpit.
This dog is ring sport trained and we are guessing fell out of a trailer on the way somewhere an no one knew she was missing until they did not have a clue where to look for her. The microchip is registered with a company in the UK and we are not having alot of luck in tracking it, we keep getting passed from one company over there to another with no leads as of yet. If anyone knows of someone missing a sport trained bi black (rottie ish markings) Female that is approximately 3 years old PLEASE contact us. I just learned of this dog approximately two weeks ago through a trainer that the dog was brought to so please do not ask why it has taken so long for me to search out this owner.

Can you get a picture of the dog? Have you searched the this section?

[trackermom]

Yes, I have searched this section, petfinder, craigslist etc. I have been doing Rescue for many many years and have just hit a dead end on this search so I am reaching out to those of you on the board. I have a picture of the dog from when she was 1st picked up but when I just selected the enter an image function it is looking for a URL addy. Can you provide me with posting info? Do the pictures need to be on a web sharing site first to post? If so my I email it to one of you to have you post it?

[allieg]

You need photobucket or one of those places.I'll PM you my addy and I can put it up.

This dog was found in the SPRING of 2009 on I91 in Vt between exits 4 and 5 (Putney/Bellows falls areas) and is living with an ACO

Bi Black (Rott marked) female on the small size (aprox 21-23") NOT conformation style

vet said dog was 3-5 years of age, but we did not attempt to look

Dog is chipped with a French 15 digit ISO chip which has migrated

The ACO made some effort to try to track the chip but got as far as Paris and the language barrier took over

The ACO said the dog was much better trained when she first got her then she is now, and no one is sure exactly what language the dog works in and the ACO is CLUELESS, TOTALLY clueless about dog training in general

Between what Cate and I saw today and what the ACO told us this fairly high drive and bored to tears dog knows

an active heel

moving stand

moving sit

retrieve

Sch/sport style about turn

hold and bark

object guard

reverse heel

stay

come

article scent discrimination even from a large pile of items

at least some tracking

"kennel up"

She does know sit in French and come in German

She does know what a bite bar is

she did not seem to know what an A frame was

She is housebroken and crate trained

Cate and I wonder if someone lost the dog traveling so this dog could belong to someone far out of the area

There is a short time to find this dog's actual owner before an attempt is made to place her in a sport knowledgeable home.

Cate and I just found out about her so we are trying to do what we can, the dog is NOT with either of us but you can contact us with possible info and we will pass it along

Cate's email is vtcaninecamp@yahoo.com
and mine is

Please crosspost where suitable

Sounds like a dream dog and I hope her owner is found.

Do you know anyone who speaks French who could follow up on the microchip? What about calling the AKC companion animal recovery service, they may have contacts overseas who could follow up. Do you have the name of the company in the UK? I'm originally from the UK and still have "dog" contacts there who may be able to help.

Good luck
Joanne
