i have had a lot of puppymill experiences, fooling you is part of their job. They are good at it! plus having a husband who doesn't understand or i shoudl didn't understand was hard for me to find a good breeder. Luckily when I got Karma it was from someone who wasn't a breeder of any sort. I went to look at a cairn pup a few months back with my best friend. She said she raised her litter indoors, I had assumed she meant she only had that breed and that litter and it was in her house. When I searched other listings under her name there weren't anyother dogs so I thought okay cool..when i got there, she wouldn't let us near her "kennel" but we coudl see the runs out both sides of the building..and she had 100s of dogs!!!!! omg two or three in each "run" and about 10 different breeds we could see.. what she meant by indoors was in the kennel! she had brought the pup out to the driveway with papers in hand.. my bff took the papers to look at them and we both decided this was way bad when we pulled up but didnt know how to back out of it, so we were polite and i said "oh ya know she just doesnt have the personality i am looking for thanks though" and we left. my bff said she had already filled in teh buyers info with my name..she assumed i was going to buy it! no way!
anyway i think you are very right to be very upset and venting is perfectly alright!!!!! i understand your pain. another lady's site I was looking at for yorkies before I got Karma, i asked for a copy of the pedigree on the pup i wanted.. I wrote her a NASTY email back.. she had soooo much in line breeding! the lady said it was normal to do that to keep the breed pure and healthy and to continue good traits. I was so sick when i saw how bad the in line breeding was though.. i am not good with pedigrees but it looked like the same sire was used for the dam and the sire and the dams sire and dam. |
