really, Missouri is the puppy mill state? wow!! that's where i live, that's sad, well at least i can be sure this isn't a puppy mill, he might be a backyard breeder and a little uneducated and not super professional, but this guy's trying, he really loves his puppies and i think he just wants to make people happy, even if they aren't always the best parents and even if this breeder doesn't seem to know the "better" way to raise puppies, i really think he's just a simple old feller, trying to make people smile by giving them a puppy that he raised in his home and loved and he's too darn nice to charge them lots of money...i dunno i might be way off, but i can't help but feel like i'm right about this guy...
he has nothing to gain really by selling me a pup for so cheap and cheating me, i'd take him to court if the vets tell me she's sick right off the bat, and he wasn't willing to give me my money back...speaking of which, i am taking her to the vet the first chance i get...and i'm going to make him do a vet check too!! he was more than happy to!!
and i don't know if i told you this, but the pup is registered with APRI (what's the difference between APRI and AKC anybody??) and Marvin's wife Linda (so sweet on the phone) she says they've been having a vet come out and check things over and they're getting licensed soon, (what does licensing in MO require)??
Thanks to those who will help answer these questions!! |
