Well since I'm generally in that kind of mood tonight I'm just going to say it I do not think it's in good taste to "WANT" dirt on anyone...breeder or not.
The facts usually come out either way, I am sure many of you reading agree.
I am not saying you/they haven't had a bad experience. And I hope all gets resolved. It's a little confusing but I think I might have a bit of the picture
I don't know anything about the breeder you mentioned personally. Good luck to you and your friend.
