About

I'm Tina, and this page is here so you can check me before you reply.

If you had an email from me and thought this could be a scam — that was the right instinct. Here is everything you'd want to know, in one place.

What Pablo is

Every serious breeder has a waiting list. Almost nobody knows how much of it is still true after a year — which families are still waiting, which quietly bought a puppy elsewhere and never said so, and which never really meant it.

Pablo keeps that list honest without the breeder having to chase anyone: families are asked, twice a year, one question with two buttons. When a litter comes, the list already knows who is real.

And after the puppies go home, the record of the dog — pedigree, the parents' health results, vaccinations, later test results — stays with the family instead of scattering across a folder, a phone and three vets.

Who builds it

One person: me. I designed it, I wrote it, and I answer the email. There is no support desk and no sales team, which means you reach me directly and also that I am slower than a company would be.

I am working as an individual and no company is registered yet. I will register one — a Slovenian popoldanski s.p. — as soon as there is a first paying customer, and the registration number will appear on this page when I do.

How I work with breeders

  • I never publish anything about you or your dogs without asking first — not your name, not your kennel, not a quote.
  • Anything I have written down about you, I will send you or delete, whenever you ask. One email is enough.
  • I do not track whether you opened my email. It is legally dubious in the EU, unreliable, and in a community this size it is simply the wrong thing to do.
  • Never make Pablo your only doorway. It goes alongside how families already reach you, never instead of it. A litter happens once; nothing I build should be able to spoil it.

Why I'm doing this

In February 2021 we brought home an eight-week-old beagle called Pablo, born on 26 December 2020. He was a gentle soul who won our hearts the moment he arrived, and he was part of our family from that first day. He was diagnosed with lymphoma. He died on 18 June 2025, four and a half years old.

None of that was his breeder's fault, and I want to say so plainly. But it did make me notice something. Nobody knew. Not his breeder, who never heard what happened to him. Not the families who had his brothers and sisters. Not the next family choosing a puppy from the same lines. Every one of them would have wanted to know, and there was simply nowhere for it to go.

Breeders already care about health more than anyone — you test, you screen, you plan matings years ahead. What you almost never get back is the one thing that would tell you whether it worked: what happened to those puppies, eight and ten and twelve years later.

That is what Pablo is for. Not a verdict on anyone. Somewhere for it to go.

It's called Pablo. I named it after him.

How to reach me

tina@pablorecords.eu

A real address and a real phone, not a contact form. If you would like to check that I am a real person before answering, please do — write, or call.

Nederlands: ik schrijf en lees prima Nederlands, dus u mag me gerust in het Nederlands antwoorden. Alleen aan de telefoon is mijn Nederlands niet goed genoeg — dan zou ik het gesprek liever in het Engels voeren.
