Great post! 2 of my girls are from a reputable show breeder and one is from a BYB. While I was lucky in that Cali looks close to the standardm she had huge health and vet bills and still does. By finding YT I was able to learn so much and in fact I thought that it was close to impossible to get a show breeder to sell e a dog. A show breeder on here recommended I try the show breeder in my area and I called her that night and after a very long phone conversation she told me she had a little 13 month old female that was too small for showing or breeding and I could come look at her. That night I brought Pixie home. We are beyond thrilled with her.Roxie is also from her but she was not the quality of Pixie and the breeder was very upfront about that and was priced accordingly.
Both of them are healthy (knock on wood) and I am so thankful for show breeders!! My breeder still keeps in touch every few months and loves to get updated pics of the girls. |
