Renee McCartin
Did you see me at Renee McCartin's Kennel? Of course you didnt. I never would have made it to 11 at her killing field. This poor dog was taken from a shelter by Fritzler and McCartin friends National Borzoi "Rescue" Foundation just to show they could do it, when there were real rescues ready to take him. They didn't bother to him checked by a vet. They determined that he was not worthy of living and put him to sleep the day after they "adopted" him. If he went to a real rescue, he would have seen a vet and would have had the balance of his life to live out in harmony and peace. Instead, NBRF took him, gave him a bath, fed him some cheese and KILLED HIM!!!!! He was "guilty" of being old, but he didn't deserve to die.
Did you see us at Renee McCartin's? Of course not. We didn't live long enough. McCartin's killing field:
Whether it is bad luck or bad care, it is hard to tell but see below that there are lots of dead dogs who died very young and lots of unusual accidents. A lot of good it did him to eye, thyroid and heart test normal when he was living in a killing field:
Brooks
Thyroid Norm 2002
eyes Normal 2002, 2005
Heart clear 2002
Top 20 2003 AKC Courser
Pat lost Brooks in an awful accident in his newly fenced in backyard
More "accidents."
Rinka

Shefaro's LadyMyst of Avalon
(DOB 4-4-95 Journeyed to the Rainbow Bridge: 7-14-95)
Three weeks after coming to live with me, Myst came down with Parvo, and exactly a month, to the day, of coming into my life, she died in my arms.
As stated in the Vet med info about parvo: http://vetmedicine.about.com/cs/dognz/a/parvodog.htm, "Generally, it takes 3 to 10 days from the time of exposure for symptoms to appear and for your dog or pup to test positive. The onset of clinical signs is usually sudden, within 12 hours, or even less."
also stated this way:
"The onset of clinical signs is usually sudden, often 12 hours or less. The incubation from exposure to seeing the clinical signs varies from 3 to 10 days."
Since Myst got Parvo after being with Renee McCartin for more than three weeks, she was clearly exposed to it there. Even though renee was using the Greyhound rescue coffers for her own personal dogs, why didn't she continue with Myst's vaccinations, a schedule given to her to follow by Myst's breeder, Shefaro.
All the other puppies from that litter were healthy.
More renee mccartin neglect
This Greyhound died of a Spider bite because Renee McCartin did not get her to a vet right away - she would have brought her in the morning, BUT she died that night without medical care:
Abbey
4/2/95-6/30/00
July 1, 2000
Abbey died at renee mccartin's .vet thinks by a spider bite a bite (swollen area) on her elbow/shoulder area, and treated it as I was told by a vet, one baby benedryl, and 'if not better by morning, come in' and went to bed thinking if it wasn't better by morning I'd take her in.
Abbey passed away that nite, Monday, in her sleep. . .as if this year hasn't been bad enough,
She was only 5. . .: i don't know how I'll raise my next litter of borzoi without my nannydog :
God help the dog world that renee mccartin will have another litter!
Why Shefaro Borzoi don't leave home with breeding rights.
Many years ago, renee mccartin purchased a Shefaro Borzoi puppy which she subsequently killed by omission (not continuing vaccinations). Of course, I didn't know that at the time she came crying to me for another puppy. I believed her when she said there was some new/rare strain of parvo, but later learned she did not continue with the vaccinations and wormings. Renee mccartin was supposed to be doing Greyhound Rescue and I subsequently found out from her that she was using the coffers (money, food, but evidently not vaccinations) of the Greyhound Rescue she was supposedly helping.
When she came to me, she promised me she was in school studying to be a veterinary technician and appeared to be an honest and sincere young woman who would make a great protege in Borzoi. She wanted to do so much, none of which came to fruition.
I sold her my beautiful Kyra with registration and breeding rights which she subsequently bred too young (before 2 years of age) and produced dogs that I call the "Poster Children for Why Shefaro Borzoi NEVER leave home with breeding rights.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse...
So the vet tech never became a vet tech and instead became a vile, nasty creature who is now a Fritzler Friend writing trash about me without whom she never would have had the splendid Kyra. I am, unfortunately, responsible for renee mccartin getting into Borzoi and I have lived to regret it.
She is a well respected member of the Borzoi "community" and Borzoi Club of America with a code of ethics she promised to abide by, yet bred her bitch at 21 month (code says 2 years) and tried to blame me for what she did. Of course, she's certainly not the first or only member of the BCOA to be unethical and violate their codes.
Of course, her lovely Borzoi community supports her and the likes of Kim Fritzler WINDROCK .
Showing themselves to be the hypocrites they are, how do they explain their reaction when one of their own bred a FOURTEEN MONTH OLD female, had a litter of TEN puppies. They said "POOR GUY, HE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF TEN PUPPIES."
Showing themselves to be the hypocrites they are, how do they explain their reaction when one of their own had two bitches that hated one another, one killed the other and the Borzoi community member killed the one that did the killing? The day they "some how" got together in her backyard, one killed the other. The "responsible" owner killed the one that did the killing. A responsible owner would have rehomed one of the girls, but they were needed in her breeding "program" regardless of temperament or their threat to one another. Then she posted the event on the internet, whining that she had lost two Borzoi that day. The Fritzler/McCartin friends/Borzoi community's reaction was that poor her, she lost two dogs. No one considered that it was her responsibility to rehome or return to breeder (oh that's right, breeder didn't want her back) or keep the two bitches separate. That is what the Borzoi "community" does for its own. Cover up and attack anyone who says anything about it.
They lick one another's wounds like the pack of jackals they are.
Which leads me to Borzoi Club of America. When I first got into Borzoi in 1979, it was an honor to be invited to become a member of BCOA. It subsequently became the above described pack of jackals turning on one another, bullying people and being otherwise as hateful and controlling possible. Please see NBRF (National Borzoi "Rescue" Foundation) The Wolfie Story to see the epitome of the control these people do.
After twenty five years of watching what once was an honorable organization, go down the toilet, I resigned. The final straw after the community protecting the baby Borzoi breeder and the dog killer, was when one of their top officers sold me a Borzoi for show and breeding that (she knew) produced at-a-year undershot bites. Visit Borzoi adults for sale. The bites didn't go off until the dogs were a year old. Of course, she claimed it wasn't so, but it was another Borzoi community member's hypocrisy and treachery that I couldn't abide by. I sent in my letter of resignation to Barbara O'Neill, and it was a happy day for me to be divorced from those nuts. Of course, Fritzler friends/renee mccartin like to say I can't get into BCOA, when the truth is that I resigned. Mccartin wouldn't know the truth if she fell over it.
My breeding program was open until renee mccartin showed me what happens when Shefaro Borzoi are left to just anyone to breed. I closed it!
I recently turned down $2500 EACH for my boys, Chico Blanco, and his sire Blanco because the potential buyers ultimately wanted breeding rights. After what renee mccartin did to Kyra, there was no way I would allow any more Shefaro Borzoi to be bred.
I actually tried selling with registration and under contract (registration, but no resale or breeding rights), but found there are a few renee mccartins and kim fritlzer types out there who do not honor the contracts they sign. Heck, fritzler does contracts when she sells inbred Greyhounds she knows will produce dogs with deadly health issues and doesn't honor them. A situation arose where an owner died and her dogs went to someone else who is now ill breeding her Shefaro bitch just like renee did with Kyra. So, now no Shefaro Borzoi leaves home with registration.
It is a stand I have taken to protect Shefaro Borzoi that are the best. The measure of the best has nothing to do with showing, well, not everything anyway. The best means SUPERIOR STABLE TEMPERAMENT. Please visit Windrock's BREEDING page to read about Windrock temperament where one of her dogs UNDER CONTRACT GUARANTEEING TEMPERAMENT bit the owner's child so badly, the child required surgery. This is what you get when you think showing is everything.
When I first got into Borzoi, I had the sense to realize that if you were going to have a BIG dog, you had better be able to trust it with your life. I studied long and hard and visited many kennels before deciding to buy my foundation from a lovely kennel in Switzerland where stability of temperament was first and foremost. That was my lovely Cherta and I credit her for the Shefaro Dynasty as it stands today.
Unfortunately, I made mistakes and let the likes of renee mccartin have my precious Borzoi and ruin them. Fortunately, time heals all and eventually Shefaro disappeared from her pedigree, so diluted by her "breeding program." If I didn't know fritzler has Greyhounds and mccartin has Borzoi, I'd think they were one and the same person with the same breeding (lack of) ethics.
Please visit my webpage to read what I am all about at Shefaro. SHEFARO BORZOI AND BOER GOATS. When you look at my pages, you can see why I have been so protective of my breeding. I do not care if I am never anyone's foundation (learned about that with mccartin). I only care to breed The Best Borzoi (visit SERVICE AND THERAPY) and to have happy owners (visit TESTIMONIALS).
Many years ago, a good friend in Borzoi told me that when they come after you and try to defame and degrade you and your work, remember they come from a place of meanness, hatred and jealousy and that "SUCCESS IS THE BEST REVENGE." If nothing else, Shefaro has been and will continue to be SUCCESSFUL.

The other two are the lovely Lola Rouge and handsome Einstein. They remain at Shefaro and hopefully will be proud parents. They are raised free to enjoy life with a five acre fenced pasture. My dogs are not locked in 20x40 chain link 8-foot high pens and they are not expendable.

Did you see me at Windrock Greyhounds/Hounds/Kennels? I never had a chance. Perhaps I also produced cryptorchid dogs with wry mouths, bad temperaments, and deadly health issues like so many other Windrock Greyhounds that this was done to me. Did you see me Windrock when you visited? Would you have helped me if you did? If you say yes, then why did you leave my brothers and sisters behind?
