We have no legal ownership of Gabby, and are performing the function of a "guardian home". I was technically incorrect in referring to "our dog".
The breeder wasn't mentioned in the "I'm upset" message to which I responded. I suppose that I should have clarified that 'we' in my response referred to my wife and I.
Tom, you were as clear as necessary. It was I who made some erroneous assumptions. :-[ I commend you for providing a good home for Gabby. Being an animal lover myself, I know the monetary and emotional expense the commitment can require.
