I didn't think she sold her dogs to a pet store, but helped a person sell a different breed to a pet store. From what I've read of the details, a friend used her shipping account and the dogs ended up at a pet store, she may have even been mislead by the friend. Obviously, she wasn't careful enough; but does a mistake in the past brand her forever? How does she feel about this now, would she do it again?
When evaluating a breeder there are so many things to take into account, and as buyers we have to weigh and measure what qualities are important to us. I just think it's important to understand, she did not sell her own dogs to the pet store, and to imply she did so is very misleading. So many people are so pleased with other things in her breeding program, and she seems to have beautiful healthy dogs, I just think we should consider that things are not as black and white as they may first appear. There are so many really horrible breeders are out there, and to destroy a good breeders reputation because of one facet seems irresponsible. Are her dogs healthy, well cared for, and does she breed to standard? These should be our primary concerns. |
