I do get upset these little dogs are many times impulse buys as they are not purses. They are a average 15 year commitment...they are not a learning tool to having skin children to be given up once the children start coming. For the most part these dogs are not great around small children so I am always amazed when breeders sell these little dogs to families with small children. A car dealer would not sell a corvett to a family with 9 kids. They know this will not work and the customers will return the car and be unhappy. In the case of the dogs they give them up to shelters or rescues....few breeders will take their dogs back for a lifetime if it is not working out. |
Ahhhh! YOu said in your first paragraph.....People buying their breeding dog without asking questions and doing research. They are in a hurry, don't want a contract, don't want anything but open registration......As another YT member has said and I'll steal her phrase "If you want a Short Cut, got to a Barber". And as we all know there are those breeders that know how to talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.........This is serious business, but some don't see it as only a business of selling puppies and they do know how to market them.....a pretty website.....Championed sired, this pedigree and that pedigree (pedigree hunters).
