And I am only at week 5 I still have about 7 to go.
I paid a lot for both mother and father. To be honest they have been worth every penny and then some. (Alot more than my Husband said I could...LOL)
I have decided that who ever purchases my new babies will have to sign a contract that if they at any point can not take care of this baby it is to come back to me. (I signed the same contract with my breeder.)These are and will always be my babies I have put alot of time, sweat and tears into these beautiful babies.
I love them. They are spoiled more than my human babies...or so I am accused.
I do not plan to just give one of my babies to just any one. If they are not willing to pay for them then they more than likely will not see the need to take them to the vet for regular visits or heaven forbid if they were to get sick or hurt. |
My contract says the same. Once you breed you understand.
