What do you plan to do when one comes back with two broken legs, or a herniated disc, or biting issues ... the list goes on and on.?? That is, IF the person bothers to contact you. And..sometimes the pup does not survive a drop to the floor. Oh...yes, adults can drop them, but it is more likely to happen that a child will.
My goal is to prevent such problems. If it involves missing one home that would have been a good one, so be it. I love the breed and am horrified at what has happened to it all because of advertisement and the public's fascination with tiny pups they think are toys. So many of them do not even research the breed...they see what they think they want...then, they take it home and see that it is a dog. .. a live one that barks, pees and poops....and not when they want it to.  |
So true, so true!!! I wish more people would take the time to research the right breed for their home and environment and not want the flavor of the month....
I've had people trash talk me because I wouldn't place one of my puppies with them because they had 5 year old twins and an 8 year old...that was funny...and then I had one trash talk me because I wouldn't give them open registration said it was their right to decide if they wanted to spay or neuter and I said well NOT it's my pup now and if you can't agree with that you ain't gonna have my pup!!!
