Gennie - you did not get your dog from the same breeder...what is happening here is Scottie Terrier Rescue is listing puppies under their 501K on petfinder as rescue dogs when in fact these are dogs coming from breeders who can't/won't sell them. They are doing everything under the image of "rescue". I am not sure what is really going on but it does not make sense that a Scottie Rescue would be listing breeder dogs unless there is some reward for doing this and if this is the case and it is $$$ then I don't think Uncle Sam would be real happy that are saying they are a non-profit organization.
I think from the breeder's standpoint this is an ethical/moral issue and shame on them for using the cover of "rescue" to hand their responsibilties when it comes to placing their dogs or in this case they are using petfinder as their marketing tool to cover more people to get rid of their dogs. What is especially upsetting is this is a board member of a Biewer Club who says everything they do is in the "betterment of the breed" and to me this is very low class way to handle placement of her dogs. I think everyone would be very upset if a board member of the YTCA did the same thing. Reputable breeders DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!
