Then I really had my eyes opened to the horror these poor dos go through their whole lives. No one sees this, they see a cleaned up puppy that looks cute. They find it easy to think, the breeder must be a good person, look how cute this puppy is! You can't know unless you really research the breeder and see where the parents and puppy live. The worst ones will still sound nice over the phone -- the first Step of the Sale is to Establish Rapport. |
She saw it and posted about it.
If more people only knew how common this is. Many clean a few up and send to a broker who has a buyer. Many include shipping costs in the price so no one comes near. Hollybelles Maltese had ads in dog magazines for years offering Maltese with a 5 yr. grarantee @ $1200 and when they finally got into her house there were 250 some dead or almost dead dogs there. Members wonder why we ask you to go to the breeder and look at the conditions they live in and ask questions. We will help you to alert you to things we might see as problems but seeing with your own eyes is best.
