it isn't always that you are selling a puppy. You might have read my story somewhere else. here in my county last week two people were arrested for stealing a bredders yorkies from the yard when she let them out to potty and went back inside for a minute. They stole two big girls and her tiny stud. They must have heard her coming backout and dropped the male in the fencerow. The two girls were taken to a home and crammed in dresser drawers to hid them. My breeder friend got a tip on it and had the police meet her at the home. Not only did they have her yorkies but when the police opened the door, my friends shepard came bounding out. he had been missing since December. There was a front page story in my paper last week. When I saw who they had arrested, I was shocked. It was a lady that had been here looking at my puppies but didn't really seem interested in buying. I was friendly when she called for an appointment to come out. I have never had a problem with people coming here and seeing how well kept my dogs are and how clean and etc they are. When she left she said, I will call you in a few days and I let her know that will be okay because my hubby and I are retired and one of us is here all the time. I also mentioned to her that I do have half an acre fenced back yard where they go play BUT I am always out there with them and they are never out of my site. needless to say, I never heard from her again. I am rethinking letting anyone come heree unless they have purchased from seeing my dogs online and I have established a relationship with them and they are coming to pick the puppy up. I hear people on here always saying, there is something wrong if the breeder doesn't want you to come to the home. That's not always the case. i have thousands of dollars in my little guys and dang if I am going to let someone steal them. But, to the OP, the only trouble we have out of Peta here is when the circus comes to town and they picket. |
