Please don't think that all people that import are bad. I have imported several dogs from Germany. They do not travel until 4 months old or older. I have not bought them for resale, but to try to get my own breedings stock. All of my dogs live in the house and not in little cages, but I do make sure they are all crate trained for when we have to travel to the vets or go to shows. They are not crated very often though. I have only resold 3 of the dogs that I have gotten from Germany. One was going to be way to small to breed (3.5 pounds as an adult), One was aggressive with the other dogs here and needed a different type of home. (We did keep her 7 months before trying to find her a new home), and the One we did import with another home already in place. This puppy was to replace one that was sent but did not pass a health exam. The German breeder replace the puppy at FULL price, but no shipping. I could not afford this at the time, but did not want the breeder to "get away" with not doing something. |
