Should they turn down an opportunity to purchase that dog because they havent paid their dues in the show ring and therefore dont deserve to own the dog or is the dog less valuable because of it? I dont think so. I am new to this area and I know that I have tons to learn and I am trying real hard, probably harder than most, to do my best. One day soon I will start to show and maybe when I do I will have a different perspective on things but right now I dont feel a breeder should feel inferior because they purchased a quality dog without paying their dues in the showring first or came by the dog under less than perfect circumstances. I am not necessarily directing these questions at you Tega Mom, I am just throwing them out there for everyones opinion. |
I'll answer one question, the one about turning down a dog if they have the opportunity to purchase it through the back door. Mary Ann obtained CJ from me....This Time and Pastoral pedigree 10 generations of Champions on the Sire and Dam Side including Sire & Dam....she actually went to my breeder and spoke to her, making it was ok with her and to insure my breeder that her lines would remain protected. This is integrity
