Subject: Response

Several people have sent me posts from the message boards and I feel it is time that I got a response up and got some lies answered.
First of all, anyone who truly believes all the stories and lies of what happened to me is missing out on the truth. Though I have no need to justify myself to any of you. The truth involves many years of physical and mental abuse from an ex-husband who would not let go of the hold he had on me. A man who was so dangerous that I often had to hide my younger daughter for fear he would kill her. A mans who left me with no choice but to go to the extreme to get away. I did what I had to do and I will pay for that. I am paying for that. In the meantime I met my new husband and for those of you who know him, know how truly blessed I am. My children are happy, healthy and safe. I did what I had to do to protect them and I will never regret that. People can say, think, believe whatever they want to. But there is no price too high for protecting yourself and your children!
At least on of you who reads this past will be sitting there thinking of your constant battles with your husband. And the physical and verbal relationship you are in. I won’t name a name, you know who you are and I pray that some day you realize that safety is more important then giving everyone else the appearance of a perfect life. I truly hope you some day find the courage to get Out. I wish you luck and that someday you have the freedom to even have your own opinion.

Onto some things. RAYNA. How nice of you to say “I’m so happy Ellen went away.” Taken from you post on 8/27/03. What a nice thing to say to someone who treated you as a friend and gave you all I could possibly give. And as far as dead dogs everywhere! You know Better. Maybe we should get something straight. You post on 8/19 would sure make a person think. I made a fortune-selling dogs to you. When in reality all but the first two dogs you got from me were gifts. How is this for a total?
Fallon – paid full price, Cayco –paid ½ price, Pand-Free, Rocket-Free, Koeboe-Free, Reno-Free, Kandy-Free, Kalamity-Free.
So I must apologize if some of those FREE dogs didn’t pan out or make you any money! That’s not what dogs are for! But since your new close friend has turned on me, that is the thing for you to do. Two users can only use each other for so long, so have fun together.

As for people saying anything about what happened to my dogs. ALL of my dogs were personally placed at their new homes. Chad made a cross-country trip and delivered them himself. Even the ones who went free as pets. He drove 600 miles out of his way to give Barbie to her new pet home. Sadly I have been told that Dancer who was given to Jeffrey Nix and Cass who was bought by him late, ended up in a shelter because of his divorce. My husband was not even told that they needed new homes again or he would have helped. None of my dogs were taken from us, or dumped at shelter by us. And they certainly were not killed!!! We even sent one pet all the way to Canada. My husband could have kept the dos, used them to sell puppies from. But that would not have been in the best interest of the dogs, so we sold and placed them. I would not let them sit for a long time period without me to care for them myself. So, we took the loss and found then homes. The RIGHT THING TO DO!
A word of warning on training! Keeping a dog ½ starved in a 6x8 kennel and dominating them is not a way to find a dog has a “will” to work. A dog in that position has a will to do what it has to in order to eat and survive.
Two weeks after getting Seven from me, robin takes him on the SCH AD run and takes ALL the credit for the dog’s health like she was the one who raised him. Well, She didn’t. And he was already well trained and well mannered before he went to her.
Why did we let her have him for $1,000.00 when we paid $3,000.00? Because he was not worth it. As soon as she got him she was posting false information on the dog. Weight. Seven weighs 116 pounds and 5 pounds of that or more is probably his tack! He has a severe under bite, which we were not told about before we agreed to pay $3,000.00 for him. He was already dog aggressive at 8 months when he arrived to us. Even had scars from fighting with his father. His eyes are not set into his skull, giving him a total bug eyed and paranoid look. Robin covers this by putting baby oil on his face so it does not show so much.
We also didn’t realize that though his hip rating was great, most of his litter had bad hips eve at a young age. Meaning that he had a great chance of producing bad hips, which he sure did! Along with sever under-bites, bad elbows, cow-hocks, cleft palates, and kinked tails. Also bad temperament and other problems. After having seven for a year we learned that his father was also bad off for being too aggressive. Hip rating does not make a dog. And a Best in show from judges who don’t know the breed certainly does not.

As for Ronnie Swart, There have been lots of comments about me because I got dogs from him. I received puppies twice from Ronnie Swart. First four male puppies, which were supposed to all, be from Gemma and Shumba but appeared very obviously to have come from two separate litters. One of those puppies was Rocket, which I eventually gave to Rayna. I hear she is selling him. I can’t see how someone can sell a dog that was given as a gift. I would assume that finding him a good home would be the priority. I also received six other male puppies from Ronnie. They were red and blue in color. Ronnie never even gave me parentage names for the puppies. Because he didn’t have it1 I learned that in fact the pups sold to Ronnie by Alan Hennels for only a few Rand because the mother was not registerable. They were told the pups would go locally as watchdogs, and instead they got shipped to me and other Americans. I learned my lesson fast about Ronnie, and I tried to warn people. People did not listen.
I little comment to Cort and Cammie Sessions since I am not in contact with you. My sincere apologies about the problems you ended up having with Ronnie. I had already gone through it with him and I tried to tell you. I am sorry. I want you to know that I truly had wanted to give Cammie a puppy, but truly just did not have a quality puppy left to offer you at that time. For what it means I am very impressed with the recent comments I have seen from the two of you. Don’t give up; your hearts are in the right place.
I won’t be having responses to this mailed to me. And I know people will come back with crap. I really don’t care. I spent almost 5 years hiding from a man who would rather kill me than let me go on. Now that is over, and Thank God! I have a wonderful husband and a great future for my kids.
Those of you who met Chad in the spring know how truly lucky I am. The mud slinging o a bunch of people who see dogs only as money machines will not get me down. I really don’t care.

So whoever has Africa Linka? She was being GIVEN to Robin Gindoy for helping my husband place my dogs. Robin did not do that; all she did was talk crap about me. Then beg my husband for Linka so she could SELL her! It is quite obvious nothing but dollar signs there. I am the owner of Africa Linka and the SABT is being made aware of this. If she has a pet home, fine, I am glad for her. But, if someone paid Robin for her, they better go get their money back and pay it to my husband so they can have breeding rights to the dog. If that is not done, I will contact the SABT and USBA to make sure her registration is voided. If her new owner simply has her as a pet, then no problem, just love her and enjoy her.

All other dogs of mine were acquired properly. We have received payment for all but one dog and I am in contact with that person, I have no doubt on that person’s word of honor.

Anyway, I have written enough for now. I really don’t care to bother with this mess. But, it was time to set some things straight. As far as what people will say about my past, I don’t care.
This will all be going in print someday anyway. Because if it helps one battered woman get out, save herself or her children than it is worth it. I made a choice years ago to protect my children at ALL cost. Along the way I met my wonderful current husband and soul mate. And now I will finally never have to be scared of my ex again. I have no regrets and opinions and lies won’t change that.
I won’t breed boerboels again but, I will again be active in the boerboels and I know a lot of the truth about a lot of the people, dogs and bloodlines. I will continue to speak out. Other people don’t need to be used like I was. If you want what is best for the boerboel, you must go with the SABT. That is the only way you can get an honest idea of what you are getting into. I learned that the hard way.
Enjoy. And to everyone who has my dogs. Please give them a hug for me today. God Bless you.

ELLEN

P.S. To those of you who make the effort to reach out to me on a regular basis and have been such good friends to me, I Thank God for putting you in my life. You are truly wonderful people. I thank Ya! You know who you are!
