Yes.. and when I first started out I bought a male from an AKC breeder
( who I thought was a good breeder) a little stud dog.
Bought him at 5 months and at 7 months he started having severe seizures..the breeder would not stand behind the dog.
And she continued to breed the same dogs.
She didn't even care enough to inquire about the dog to see how he was.
Cost me price of the dog plus Vet bills to get him lined out for a total of about 1500.00.
I could not and would not breed him ...the dog was neutered .
and giving free to a Dr. and his wife who was a Nurse.
I know AKC is an older registery ..But I'm still not real happy with them since they were in Goodwin Mo. and patting the Hunte's corp ( AKA the biggest puppymill and broker around) on the back for a good job they are doing.
IMO.. there are good and bad in all registeries. |
