Unfortunately I know of a couple of places already breeding without regard for the breed. The high prices that bring in comparison to most dogs has brought that to be. I unfortunately sold one of the dogs into these conditions. A reference check was done, but did not bring up the conditions at this place. I now do a background check and call state and local animal agencies. We should never trust just the given references alone, as they would not knowingly give a bad reference. (I did have a person give their vet, who in turn told us that the dogs were filthy. Oops! they did not get a dog from me!) I don't want to ever have this on my conscience again. I love my dogs too much to let them end up in a place that has no regard for them.
I don't know if the other breeder even knows that one of her dogs is in the situation it is in. I know about it because I called about the dog when it was put into an auction. I was hoping that a rescue could purchase it. Unfortunately it was beyond the budget of the rescue.
The Biewers that have been sold at the dog auctions, no one cares where they go except that the person was willing to pay the highest price. If the owner would have cared they would not have put them in the auction. |
