Just because your a nice person doesn't mean your a good person. I have lots of "friends" that are nice to me, they do bad things and I choose not to involve myself with those types of people. If they want to be ignorant to the proper methods of breeding that is their fault. If you want to breed you should educate yourself not just dive in because you can. |
Have to agree here. My oldest Chanel came from a bad breeder. This was years ago and I was stupid. She was SO nice....tried to be informative and it was all an act.
When Chanel started having severe diarrhea, I called her before I went to the vet.....(at the time I didn't know WHAT she had)... but knew I had a sick little puppy. She claimed it was the stress of a new home - NOT ! IF I had believed her
and some people would have - I'd have lost my beautiful Chanel.
We rushed Chanel to the vet - found out it was coccidia & I called her again. She claimed she'd never heard of it & hung up the phone. I wasn't rude at all - I was worried sick and wanted her to know her other puppies may be at risk.
This so called 'breeder' would have rather let my puppy DIE than admit she had a problem.
If my husband and I had believed her when she said it was normal for a puppy to act that sick when going to a new home - I wouldn't be here talking about it.
The reason I posted this is to say - a caring breeder would tell you what
could be happening and also - to get to the Vet asap. A bad breeder will wash their hands of you once they have your money.
ps. Yes I plastered her name all over the net. Not because Chanel was sick but because of the way she handled it.
