I do know fellow exhibitor/breeders that have conducted credit checks, and checking with people's neighbors, family, etc. |
personally i commend you guys for doing this as I would do the same if i bred although that will never happen lolllll i would leave it to you experts here for sure. I know when you rescue a dog as i did my maltese they do a thorough background check, came to our home,etc and i was happy that they did all that as i knew they cared about this little rescue and that she was getting a good home. Vet care is expensive and very important part of being financially able to care for a dog as i had no clue how much and boy do i know now but thank goodness i was prepared ahead of time. I welcome anyone doing a check as i want the breeder to feel comfortable and i want to feel comfortable next time that i am dealing with a reputable breeder as well as i thought dd breeder was reputable but when dd started having health issues and i started asking questions she went awol and i never expected her to pay for anything or give me my money back i just could not understand why she was having so many issues
I just wanted her help as she bred yorkies for years and she was of no help had to figure it out on my own through groups such as this and yahoogroups sadly after spending alot on vet bills and getting minimal help. I was getting so frustrated prior to learning from other pet owners that were so helpful.
this thread caught my eye as dd is limited AKC and never understood what that all meant so will be reading the rest of this thread for sure as this is very interesting to me since it applies to my dee dee - i never did register her but obviously have all her papers but vet said she was definitely inbred
breeder said she was an accident but me being a new dog owner did not question it or understand it just loved this little girl from day one
she was born 7/3/04 and we got her over labor day weekend that year so i think she gave her to us too early as i read alot on how 12 weeks is usually the case for toy breeds - i was afraid to bring her home as she was so little and i had to get dex fixed before she came home too
no babies here for sure
