Buffy and Kharma's breeder and I stayed in touch fairly regularly and genuinely liked each other. Unfortunately, Judy was diagnosed with 4th stage cancer, her husband was severely injured on his job and they had to give up their dogs. I tried to help them find a home for their last male, Buffy's littermate -- I'd have taken him in a heartbeat but Bimmer would never have gone for that, and then the last few times I tried to call them I got a voice mail and nothing, so I can only assume that Judy passed away.
