Hello Timbreblue Family and Friends. Derek and Jo have done so much for us and given us our wonderful dogs, plus so much more. They are 100% behind the dogs that they breed and are very special to many of us. They are not just your typical breeder, they breed with love and care to keep in touch and become friends with all their new puppy owners.

I have been talking with Jo and I know they are facing some serious financial hardships currently. It is hard to have to ask for money, but right now they need our help. They are facing a situation where they may be forced to give up their house and place all but two of theirs dogs and move into a rental. That would kill them to have to place their dogs and give up on the Timbreblue line. They are currently in a lease-purchase agreement, but have to clear up some debt and improve their credit so they will be able to finance the house they are currently in. They will be able to afford the payments on the house with no problems and have already paid the down payment. The only thing holding them back from getting the loan is some debt.

This debt has been accrued unfortunately through situations they have no control over. Derek was in the ICU for extended stays due to his diabetes. Jo has been unable to work for extended periods of time due her epilepsy and some emotional difficulties. Due to these unforeseen life circumstances this has left a debt they need to clear up in order to be approved for their loan.

They want to nothing more than to be able to continue to the Timbreblue line, but due to these circumstances they are facing the fact that they may have to move into a rental and give up all but two of their dogs. In a rental they would be unable to breed due to the two dog limit restrictions. Also Sharyn and Walt are planning to retire and phase out of breeding in the next couple of years so to continue Timbreblue we need to look at Jo and Derek.

I know many of you are with me that they are exceptional breeders as well as people. They love their dogs and raise them as family and put that before breeding, which is wonderful. You won’t find a breeder or a friend who will do 100% what they can for you and your dog through its lifetime. Will you please consider donating whatever you may be able to help Derek and Jo and keeping Timbreblue alive.
