There's nothing wrong with getting a retired breeding dog, don't get me wrong, but you want to make sure the breeder gave them proper care through the years, or there might be many expensive health concerns. I personally think it's much safe to go through a legitimate rescue, and at least you know what your up against and potential physical, as well as behavioral problems. Since they only charge around $300.00 and often have put much more into the dog, it seems like a better deal to me. To the OP, I hope all goes well, and I hope you get a vet check as soon as possible. |
You are right Nancy, I guess I got kinda side tracked with my own experience! When there is just one dog needing to be rehomed, like what happened to my customer, it is not uncommon to give it to a friend or family member for free. But this lady has several of them, from what I understand? Then yes, that is cause for some concern, or at least caution.
