Where did Gumbo go?

You might remember all the furore over the Kennel Club, pedigree dogs and Crufts over the last year.  One thing I did mention a while ago is how the media were discussing the apparent hypocrisy that the BBC seemed to be showing when Eastenders featured a St Bernard, one of the breeds they wanted banned from Crufts, called Gumbo.

Gumbo was abandoned to Bradley in the soap, who was non-too keen until Gumbo won a dog show and some prize money.  The show then showed Bradley receiving a phone call from someone wanting to use Gumbo as a stud dog.

There was lots of media coverage over the hypocrisy and the BBC defended itself admirably, however, I note that Gumbo has not appeared for some time.  Did I miss an episode, did someone take Gumbo, did the BBC remove him or what happened?
