We spent the first weekend in the Emergency Hospital with this little female who had several problems. I, too, think Jimmie Rascoe was very kind and cares about these dogs, but I don't think she has any idea about their health when she is brokering them and not breeding them. I am so happy, TatumsMom, that you had a great experience with them. I, too, love my precious baby girl more than I can ever express - but it was definitely a rough go of it at first....one that should not have happened and one that I would not wish on anyone else. I have since bought two other babies from a breeder and have not had one single problem with either...what a difference a good breeder makes! |
I'm so sorry that happened to you. Like I've said, we got very lucky with Tatum - especially being inexperienced with this breed. And no, Jimmie couldn't possibly know the health background of all of these puppies that she's selling. Health issues can happen with even the best breeder's dogs though too. I'm definitely not trying to push the Rascoes on anyone. I've already said a few times that I don't know that I would purchase from them again. I agree that the OP should do tons of research to find the best breeder she can afford.
