Nevada Ballet Theatre’s bad idea

So the Nevada Ballet Theatre decided to raise some money with a live auction, and one of the things they auctioned off was a 7 week-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel puppy.  Did anyone stop to think that perhaps auctioning off a puppy to the highest bidder wasn’t the best way to find the dog a good home?  As it was, the winning bidder, Nigel Lythgoe, paid $10K for the puppy, and then gave it away to his unsuspecting date.  It’s nice that she’s a dog lover, but she certainly didn’t go out that evening planning to get a puppy.  The whole situation shows incredibly poor judgment on the part of the Nevada Ballet Company, but I’d really like to know the name of the breeder of the dog.  Any breeder who’d let a 7 week-old puppy go to anyone with a fat wallet isn’t someone who should be breeding dogs.

Here’s a link to the story in the Las Vegas Review Journal (scroll down to the 2nd item).
