If my reply was construed as rude because I chose to use numbered (bulleted) responses, I take pride in knowing that it was my own choice to do so in order to facilitate an intelligent response (English 101). It is also worth noting that rude people don’t end with a “Thanks anyway”.
It’s nice to know that the intent of my posting, even though generalized, was well received and understood by several people who neither misread my grammatically correct posting, nor were intimidated by my white-collar professionalism. I will respond to you shortly as requested via e-mail.
If my request for assistance in this forum goes nowhere on my behalf, I will at least find consolation in knowing that I would never refer someone to a breeder I know nothing about. Hopefully, in my reply, I have helped at least one person who would, unwittingly, do business with the aforementioned breeder, and save them the pain endured by the ownership of one of his sick puppies as is chronicled in several other forums. Needless to say, I also would not refer anyone to the classified section of a newspaper that is 2,000 miles away from a person's stated location.
I will go no further to perpetuate the feeling of seniority extrapolated over the difference of a 2 month period of time. Inferiority complexes are better left to professional forums that can contribute whatever positive and constructive comments may be required. Therefore, that subject to me is moot, and pardon me for digressing.
In this forum I have found a couple of excellent breeders I have personally corresponded with. Unfortunately, it has been to no avail since they could not help me at this time. I still feel that I am better served within this country’s boundaries, and hope to find my “perfect companion” soon. Again, “thanks anyway”.
