What kind of breeder I am. Bottom line that is how I operate, one does not have to buy a puppy from me.
But, I will say none of the homes where my puppies were placed, was their first concern about money. And even though I have a set companion price, I have been known to come down and not because they asked, but because I knew these people would give the puppy the best possible home. |
No Reputable breeders should not be in the business of selling dogs..but they do sell them..you can call it place but it is still a sale. I agree it can be tacky for that to be the first question..but like I said..People are human beings and I just feel bad for some folks...Inthe end it should be about who you are placing your pet with and knowing it is the best home for them...and that is what really matters right?
