Duffy's case back in county court

SUNBURY — Duffy, a prize-winning French bull dog remains off the breeding market pending another medical examination to determine if he’s well enough to procreate.

Susan Serovich, of Kulpmont, filed a petition to stop the court from giving Karen Robertson, of Paxinos, access to the 6-year-old show dog for breeding purposes due to an alleged infection.

On Monday, Serovich’s attorney, David Miller, of Frackville, told Judge Charles H. Saylor the dog has a medical condition that prevents him from being bred.

Robertson, who once owned Duffy, gave him to Serovich in October 2006 with the understanding she would be able to breed the animal for two more years.

The judge ruled that semen samples will not be collected from the dog until the dispute is addressed at the June 16 bench trial after a brief in-chambers meeting with Miller and Robertson’s attorney, Rachel Wiest-Benner, of Sunbury. In the meantime, Saylor ordered Duffy to be examined by a West Chester veterinarian on May 15.

Money is at the heart of the issue.

Robertson testified at a prior court hearing that she is paid $1,000 for Duffy’s stud services and $3,000 for each puppy he produces.

Serovich is resisting continued efforts to breed the dog, charging that a veterinarian has recommended Duffy be neutered for medical reasons.
