Tracking down info... - Go Pitbull .com

Sydney · 11-03-2008, 12:31 AM

ok, so as many of you know I have had issues with trying to track down the people who sold me Sydney. I have been wanting to track them down so I could possibly at the very least find out more information about her heritage. I now have been able to track down this very old information through some seriously tough computer sleuthing.

Names: Hope and Timothy George Reed
Location: Foley, AL

Sydney's Parents Call names: Trixie and Champ

I have an old email from when I originally tried to get in touch with these people, but they didn't respond to me then...so I am sure they won't respond to me now.

...and that's all I got...

actually I have a phone number too, but I am afraid to call since these are "friends"(for a lack of a better term) of my ex-boyfriend from high school...blah-blah-blah...and he got Syd as a gift to me...so I am afraid if I call them they will think I am nutty and have no idea who I am.

Any suggestions on what to say???

hey. me and my bf agree that you should just call and get to the point

just tell them
"hello my name is.... i used to date.... i got a pup from you and wanted to get some info if that was okay?"

i mean unless they are complete jerks they should help you out... and who cares if they think your a nutcase... arent us pittie mamas that way anyway

good luck

You might want to try Free People Search by ZabaSearch! it's free search engine. It shows information on Timothy G. Reed

I agree with the ones who said call and just get right to the point.

Best of luck and keep us posted

*Bumpbump* did ya call em?!

Sydney · 11-27-2008, 02:48 AM

Ok well I never did call...and randomly today I got another email. The last one I got a couple weeks back I found out that Trixie (dam) had recently run away, and that Champ (sire) had an anuerism (sp?) and had past away at 7yrs. I sent another email, about her lineage, and hadn't heard anything back until today...

We emailed a little back and forth and she told me she had a ped or peds not sure if it is just on Trixie or on Champ too...She said she didn't have much use for them anymore and asked for my address to send them to me. I dunno if she really is going to, but it sure would be neat if she does.

She also sent me some more pictures of Trixie and Champ!

Champ:

Trixie:

Not the greatest pictures, but I am just really excited to have heard something. I can get over how much Sydney looks like Champ, but is built like Trixie

Wow, both parents were some gorgeous pitties. No wonder Sydney turned out so beautiful.

LiiL_L0cz_Red_N0se · 11-27-2008, 05:13 AM

very cool! i hope she does send you the info that would be great! be sure to let us know

good job BBB i was thinking about this the other day but couldnt find the thread to ask lol

Patch-O-Pits · 11-27-2008, 04:25 PM

That is sad that they weren't more responsible.
Curious to as if they had a necropsy done to show the true cause of death or if that was just a vet's or their guess as to what it may have been.

Hopefully they will send some info however with their breeding practices I don't know that I'd trust that the info is real unless it is actual paper work and even then I'd question it.

I'm glad you have your pretty gal. She is lucky to have gotten into the hands of a responsible caring owner! Give her hugs from me

I don't know if I would call them "breeders" they are from what I have gathered kinda-friends of my ex-boyfriend from high school whose dogs were having puppies around the time I had mentioned I wanted one...Sydney was a gift, so I never really had any contact with these people.

I honestly couldn't tell you if they had a necropsy or not they didn't mention it either way. The papers would honestly just be interesting to see...questionable or not. That is if she even sends me anything at all....

Patch-O-Pits · 11-27-2008, 07:33 PM

Actually even one litter makes you a breeder of record of those pups. (Be it BYB or reputable.)

Her parents look nice in the picts. It would be cool if they sent you something, but you know Sydney is a doll no matter what anyway
