The litter is CKC registered, but he was the last puppy and we didn't see the rest of the litter. We were also told by the breeders that Mojo weights much less than he really does — we checked with the vet today.
So yeah... It's a good lesson for me, but it also makes me very sad, for Mojo and for breeders who just say things to make you buy the dog. But it's also my fault — I didn't go to a reputable breeder, but somebody who claimed to sell a "purebreed" puppy. And I need to recognize that and learn from it. |
Oh wow, lesson learned the hard way. Sounds like you have a good vet that is helping you head the right direction. Does your vet have any recommendations of breeders for you to go through
I don't know from experience, but from reading her on YT it won't be an easy task to aquire an excellent representation of the breed with breeding rights. Usually I have read about the necessity to find mentor that is a great breeder and go from there. Mind you I have no experience with breeding but do have an interest in possibly getting into it when I retire
