In your first post you stated that you were told that she breeds every heat.. now your saying she would not answer the question, you have managed to present yourself as being a liar.
Your avatar says you are from VA, but you have stated that is not where you were from when you went to look at the kennels. Why have you not answered who you are or when you were there? If the accusations are true you should have no problem with publically stating the complete set of facts. why should members believe anything you say if you won't even say who you are.
You have posted very few items on this forum except to bad mouth someone, which makes it appear that is the only reason you joined. Again making you appear untrustworthy.
Secondly you are right that if someone wants to know the answers to these questions she has a right to know. That stated a breeder does not have a responsibility to answer every question you ask just because you visit her kennel. Maybe she got the feeling when you visited (if you actually did) that your intentions were not true, in which case I would not have answered anything for you either.
If you are interested in purchasing a dog a relationship needs to made between the breeder and the buyer, at that point the breeder would be willing to answer any questions you have. Given that I have spoken to Betty before I can guarantee you she answered EVERY question I had, and I would buy a puppy from Betty in a heartbeat.
If "In my experience & my friend's that info was not given up." Then why did your friend buy two dogs from her?
Because her daughter has no idea how often her mother breeds her dogs and at what age does not mean anything, she is not in business with her. All it means is it is not something that have specifically discussed. |
Thank you for saying this. I have never, ever had a problem with answering buyers questions but some jump on here and get a long list of questions from people that think they know everything and in reality, it has NOTHING to do with the purchase of the puppy. I always make myself available and am very polite when asked questions. But in reality again, all you need to know is how my dogs are housed, are they healthy, have there ever been problems with any of my dogs. Things like that. You do not need to know when I purchased the parents or who I purchased from or how I breed them. it is also really no ones business how many times the dogs have been bred or how many litters I have had. That does not mean there are things to hide. it just means it does not pertain to the purchase of a particular pup. Just for the record, i do breed my girls twice and skip one. Sometimes I don't even breed twice. Just depends on how long since puppies were born that they come into heat again. I have four girls and two boys. I have not had aa litter of puppies since last June and one in March before that. Only two litters. But what has that got to do with anything. i so agree with your post about these things and I, too, have talked with Betty at length in the past. I have never purchased from her but would not hesitate to do so.
