Also me!
now I still can not believe this, and you have to know that I'm very sad and angry for this situation because I am very fond of all my dogs!


I don't know what happened...I think continue about this.

What to do?

I know Riccardo, he is a responsable breeder, he loves and take care of his puppies and for sure he isn' t involved in any way with this french shit.

If I were you, I'd turn to my domestic Kennel Club and ask for help for dealing with the problem. I belive this is their role and obligation. Even if the local Breed Club is weak and unwilling to act (well, I don't know, just speculate), the Italian Kennel Club should have legal means to oficially support you and represent you at FCI.

Some official enquiry between the KCs should be made to DNA test the dog at the lab indicated by you with your lawyer being present, and the parentage should be checked. Should the results be correct, you'll have to cover the costs of the test (I hope your friends and other breeders or Italian Breed club would help you financially in such case), if not - the French Kennel Club/FCI should take action against the owner. They should also take action against the pup owner should he refuse to let the dog be tested.

I keep reading about the indolence of the kennel clubs and breed clubs and find it really weird. What is the reason for their existnce if they do nothing to save the breed from abuse? Aren't there any statuses, can't their heads communicate, organize some action plan and start its implementation?
It sadly seems their activites have been limited to pedigrees issuing and organization of dog shows

the kennel clubs are interested just in ONE thing...MONEY MONEY MONEY!

As for Riccardo, he is member of the Italian CSW club board...

Over the last few years I've heard of several cases of CSV pups disappearance, mysterious sudden pup deaths never confirmed by any vets, resales of pups from solid kennels to puppy mills by the new owners, etc. etc. I'm not the best informed person since I don't breed, nor go to meetings, camps or shows ... so apparently there must be many, many more similar cases.

The indolence of KCs is really very short-sighted. What's happened to Riccardo, tomorrow may happen to any other breeder. I just don't understand such lack of solidarity and unwillingness to cooperate among people who claim to be honest and to love the breed

Maybe in the face of the crisis, it's time for new elections in the breed/kennel clubs in some countries?
