Help Locating a Particular Breeder?

External Since: Oct 01, 2007 Posts: 1

Hi there. I apologize if this question has been asked, but I've
searched the archives and have come up empty-handed, and was hoping
someone might be of assistance.

Is there any way of locating a certain licensed breeder that sold the
person the dog that was then given to me? At the time, ten years ago,
I was given all the paperwork with the breeder's information. However,
a recent search for this person through public record archives and dog
breeder search engines has proven difficult, as this person has a
common first and last name and apparently no longer lives at the same
location listed on the Certificate of Pedigree as well as the blank
AKC Dog Registration form.

Is there an organization I can call or write to that this person might
have been registered with that may have archives that were then
updated with the original breeder's change of address? Any help would
be very much appreciated, as it would mean a great deal to me to get
another dog from the same lineage as my beloved deceased pet, a basset
hound that I was very fond of. My only other option is to drive two
hours to where this person lived 10 years ago and asking the landlord
or neighbors, and I don't really want to bother anybody who might
think my intentions are anything but sincere.

Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to email
