You guys are so sweet and I'm so glad I found this site! I'll definitely contact some of you to get more information about the breeders you know of. I really apprecitate all the replies!  |
I KNEW it! Yup, that's her. Not mentioning any names but this person has a website that definitely draws you in to thinking she is very ethical. She shows dogs at YTC shows (and others) but she is not on their referral list. I could tell it was her by your research and her response. Yes, her dogs are beautiful and she has had many champions but....
Don't get discouraged! It only gets better after her.
In my opinion she overcharges for most of her dogs ($1500-$4000 and up) but $1500-$2500 is not unusual for a dog from a show breeder...even if it is pet quality. (here in southern ca) Keep doing your research and if you can attend a show...GO! there is one in Oct. in Northern Ca. Great place to see beautiful dogs and see/meet breeders from all over. Yes, "she" will be there.
In the meantime many people on here got wonderful pups from smaller breeders that breed for pets. I hope you find some good leads.
