Boy I just do not understand. I don't understand HOW you people send a huge sum of money to a "breeder" totally unknown to you.....and expect to receive a healthy well bred puppy.
I see this time and time again. Uneducated people purchasing a dog over the internet then comming on groups like this crying because the dog is sick or has a genetic disease.....and calling the breeder a "BAD BREEDER".
They are only "bad breeders" because the public ALLOWS them to be. Because of the way in which the public purchases a pet. Because the public continues to purchase their inferior product....."a live puppy" allows these so-called "bad breeders" to pump out even more inferior puppies. Trust me if the puppy buying public changed the way in which they purchase a dog.....many of the "bad breeder" problems would just fade away.
WHY in the world would you have a DOG shipped to you. Why not take the time to explore your local area.......find a good breeder whom you can see face to face. I just will never understand......you would NOT purchase an automobile this way.....but yet think nothing of sending huge sums of money to a stranger for a pet......that will probably/should live 15 plus years.....does this make any sense to anyone!!!
OH and "looking for certain qualities" can you tell me how in the h*ll you can tell the "certain qualities" a puppy has from a picture.....answer....YOU CAN'T.....without putting your hands on the puppy......again you taking a chance....taking a chance with a living breathing "being".....you cannot even be sure of receiving the pup in the picture!
Sheeze I will never understand!!! Never!
Okay off my soap box now!
