Does not research or even care what her lines are. has no testing on her dogs, does not try to breed to the standard. does not screen her puppy homes or have any contact with the buyer after they leave. it's kind of 'show me the money and I will sell you a dog' knd of thing. An ethical breeder is just the opposite. |
That is just WRONG IMO
To say you are a BYB JUST BECAUSE you don't show??? That is SILLY IMO. Kinda ticks me off. What is wrong with being a wonderful breeder who loves and cares for her dogs and does all the proper testing and produces healthy, pet quality pups?
I don't believe every dog or breeder has to be "show ring quality"
JMO.
