IMO, the post to ask about me was premature, but most of all I believe that too many people are far too willing to jump on anything and show it in the worst possible light. It is very like trying to define a puppymill, often it is simply someone with one more dog than you have or a term used to inflame people against someone you do not like. We all need to be more careful. It is easy to throw stones and far more difficult to walk in someone's shoes and find out the facts for yourself. Please bear in mind that a breeder is not required to put her safety on the line to sell you a dog. She also does not have to give up every shred of privacy to satisfy a casual shopper's curiosity. Questions about a breeder's records and litter sizes and so on are not appropriate. They are also not public record. I have belonged to this forum for more than four years. I rarely post just for exactly these reasons. I appreciate those that attempted to be a voice of reason and thank them very much. For those that find fault, that is your priviledge and you certainly need never buy from me. |
I applaud you for this post. So many people will call or email with their "list" of questions (that someone on here has thought up that shows you are a good breeder). most of the questions are inappropiate. I generally try to answer them when I really want to say it's none of their business. Breeders don't have to give their lives over to people wanting to buy pups. My personal life is none of a buyers business. I am always willing to answer questions but sometimes I just shake my head at how silly the questions are. of course if you don't answer them that is a huge "RED FLAG". according to the powers that be on this board. I am also so sorry someone had the audacity to google your address and post your private residence on here. That served no purpose at all except trying to dig and find out all the dirt they could when it was really none of their business. That is what upset me so bad yesterday. The extremes that some people will go to in order to stick their nose into someone else's business. people that have no interest in buying your puppies and have no experience with you have no right to go to that extreme. Needless to say, my ignore list grew yesterday. and I'm sure I got added to a few also. LOL Good luck selling your puppies. i wish you would put more pictures on your website tho. I love to look at nice dogs.
