I get the idle threats all of the time. "Since you will not adopt to us, we will go buy one". So...guess we also are to blame. |
Absolutely, so the number of bad pet owners is right up there with bad breeders.
We've seen stories on here where the puppy was taken back to the breeder, the breeder go it stablized gives it back to the owner and it goes downhill again.
They think it is a toy, the let kids drag it around, they drag it to the pet store they exhaust it and wonder why it is not eating.
When I got my first yorkie she explained everything to me abut making sure it did not get overtired or it would forget to eat. Stressing the importance of the puppy getting enough sleep to stay well.
