Just heard about this! Bonnie was a renown breeder of Champion Hairless ratties, and BEAUTIFUL dogs!

She and her hubby were breeding a more sun safe color, solid reds and apparently they are incredibly well known in the Rattie World. I just heard about them a few weeks ago when researching Hairless Ratties.

www.ahts.net/index.html    Some of their pups are National Champs at this Fla kennel (Woodland Manor Kennels).

I was so shocked to hear about this.

I guess many of their dogs were killed....so heartbreaking.

What a horrific nightmare for her husband!!!! A sickening tragedy.

If he needs any fostering help, or whatever, I would gladly jump in.

I know it is devastating.

We have now heard that they presume most of the dog have passed away and the handful that managed to get away will be fine. 

We are trying to get the address so we can send cards and $ to her husband Michael.

When we get it I will let you know.

This is devstating.  Both of my ratties came from her.   I just spoke with her on Thursday concerning Alice and she wanted me to call her this weekend  I have been in touch with some people and here is what I was told:

Vickie-
  I spoke with Jo Trapp, a breeder from Florida who has been coordinating the 
search, and she said that quite a few of the dogs have been found, but they have 
been dead. She is unsure if there are any in the shelters in Polk or Floyd 
counties though. They are planning to check the shelters tomorrow. I sugguest 
you call Jo at 407-889-8642, and see if maybe she can direct you in a way to 
help out with the search. I understand that people are continuing the search 
this afternoon.
Thanks for reading-

I have been crying all day.  Please keep her family in your prayers.

They have only found 12 living dogs so far. The injured ones are with a vet, and the healthy ones are with Bonnie's Mother - where Bonnie would have wanted them to be.

Last weekend was tragic in so many ways. Those who were lost will be sadly missed by so many people.
