 I left off the show breeders name but she is from California.  Have any of you heard of PETA going to breeders homes and causing trouble.  I guess if I lived in California or a populated area it could be more of a problem.

  Sometimes I think its a great idea. We have alot of theft here and you never know about people these days. I try to get to know potential puppy buyers in advance but I wonder if they are only telling you what you want to hear. I have actually shown puppies in my front yard. I just dont like inviting strangers into the house anymore. Even with the securiity system, you just never know. At least I dont have alot of puppies constantly to place. About 3 years ago, a show/breeder of Bulldogs showed her pups to some people. They waited in the ally behind her house until she left. They took all but one puppy. She eventually got them back, but can you imagine the heart ache. Another Bulldog breeder was showing her pups in the living room of her home. She forgot some paper work and when she went to get it, the people took off with her pups. I dont think she ever got them back.
Is becoming a sad world. sigh
