The rejoicing over the Kangal bitch "Azula" rescued in Klagenfurt was short-lived. On Wednesday afternoon, her breeder turned up at Tiko and asserted his claim to ownership, which is his right.

Return clause makes it possible
This is because many breeders have a return clause in their contract stating that the bred animal can be reclaimed at any time if circumstances change or if bad circumstances become known. He would look for a better place or sell them on to owners of Kangal dogs, "Azula's" breeder assured her. The former dog owner had misrepresented the facts to him, but she was still allowed to say goodbye to the dog.

According to the authorities, the dog should not have been allowed anywhere near the woman. But "Azula" should already be in Upper Carinthia. Animal lovers and breeders are appalled by these laws.
