I understand that she is breaking the law by selling Ellie to me before 7 weeks of age and that I can't "go after her" for vet bills, etc., but that is not my point here! The whole reason for me coming on YT was to ask for advice on how to care for her and it is sad that most of what I am getting is useless information on what to do with the breeder!
I have said more than once that I will be contacting the authorities and reporting the breeder but I also have every intention of saving Ellie if I can! She will be a member of our family, not used to breed and I couldn't care less if she is registered. She will be spayed as soon as the vet sees fit and will be microchipped ASAP!
Please don’t continue chastise me for saving a puppy and attempting to shut down a BYB just because I am not doing it the way you think it should be done. I am not a total idiot, though my teenage daughters may disagree…I am able to make reasonable decisions and know exactly what I am getting into! I know that she may have health issues, I know that vet bills may be very costly, and I also know that even with my best laid efforts she may not make it; but none the less it is my job as a human being to at least give this little girl a fighting chance which it more than I can say for the breeder that brought her into this world! All I ever asked for from YT was how to care for Ellie when she comes home; instead I am getting legal advice!
It is not my intent to make anyone angry or upset anyone in anyway but this is getting way out of hand! If you want to give me tips on who to contact to report this breeder, great! I you want to give me tips on how to care for Ellie when she comes home; even better! I welcome this information, but please keep your negative opinions of me to yourself. |
Wow, that was a nice venting session and I think it needed to be said. I think there are certain laws that need to be followed by breeders HOWEVER I agree that you came to YT for advise on one issue, but got BOMBARDED on a different issue. I don't know if anyone ever answered you where you could get a whelping heating pad (I'm sorry I don't know what that is so I can't help you). I know you heart is already attached to your little baby and can empathize with you on that (even tho I do not support BYB or puppymills). I wish you nothing but luck and will help you with whatever you need. I have an almost 5 year old baby (in May he'll be 5) whom I love to pieces. I don't know if I will know the answers but I will try. I know there will be others on here that will be very happy to help you as well
