Also if they want to see the parents, and want to hold a puppy instead of just looking at it, I think those are good signs too. I don't think I would be comfortable asking about their jobs; checking up on their vet; checking up on the with their vet (if they have one), etc. SO, how far do we take all of this, before we've gone to far? |
This is the way I see it and yes a lot of it is gut. It maybe a bit over the top for some. I've put blood, sweat and tears into my line, as the others that came before me. I brought this pup into the world and I am responsible for it. Ultimately it is up to me that I do everything I can to make sure it is placed in the best possible home. Do I think there's a point where we over step the line. Frankly and bluntly no. This is my pup and it deserves the best, if someone has objection to my interviewing process and what I require, then they don't have to have my pup. If someone is retired, that is one thing, but if someone is working, you want to know if their job is stable or they are....it can affect the pups future.
