ha ha..but, seriously......really. PM me sometime you've got a nice litter on the ground please. I'd be interested to see what breedings you're doin'. |
You can visit my website a little old now and needs redoing. That is in the process at the moment and not finished yet. I don't know if I can post my new one other than in my profile or whatever the heck it is called. The link for my old one is there at the moment
I never would ship and I am not interested in doing so now. I don't sell show dogs to any show breeders at all, not locally not anywhere. FOr anyone doing obedience I have to know you, you have to be local and you have to agree to go to the Obedience training with the trainers I work with.
I turned down a known Obedience person locally because I didn't like her attitude. Any dog I place I have to be able to sleep nights.
I have taken one of my own that was returned to me after seven months at about 18 months of age, to Obedience to regain his confidence. The person who had him, I thought I had made a good choice not knowing she wouldn't listen to anything I told her, sought the wrong poor training and darn near destroyed the little guy.
I did about 3 or 4 months of classes at my expense with awesome positive type training and a confident dog emerged and via referrals from someone I trust, he was rehomed to someone who adores him. With the refund I gave the first buyer and the money I spent to help this little dog and rehomed him for very little money as I know the people very well involved in finding this dog who were very good friends of the new owner . He is working out very well for them and for me that is the important part. His owner loves going through the exercises with him as I showed her how to do it and the little guy loves doing them.
I sold a pup at about 5 months, he will be 2 years old in September. The owner lives about an hour from me and I do mobile dog grooming in her area. She had a problem with him with an abcess taht would not heal. She tried a local Vet who was useless. I booked an appt with my Vet that I trust completely in the area I used to live a little over half an hour from her but not where I live now. I booked a Vaccination for one of my dogs as well.
The owner is not great with driving other than her own little community, so I drove to her place picked up her and her dog, drove us to the Vet, mine had his Vacc's and a little surgery for her dog to remove the cause of the abcess was required. The Vet kept him, I took her home, went on to do a grooming I had booked up the road from her, came back, her dog was ready so I drove us back to the Vet to pick up her dog and drove her back home.
I haven't figured out my mileage but I would guess at least a couple of 100 kilometers.
She gave me some gas money, the rest I did for the best for the dog and her so she isn't shelling out a bunch of money to some idiot Vet that has no idea what they are doing. My Vet knew right away the cause and the treatment required and was exactly what I had been told previously by another breeder what likely was going on as she had experienced it. He gave her an estimate for cost which came in at within $20 of what he quoted her.
