On her site, she shows & states that she strives to breed to the standard. It's not all it seems & most do not see the poor living situations, in cages unsocialized, breeding until they're not 'needed' anymore.

I didn't tell the whole story, but my friend actually adopted two girls from Rose. I was shocked at the condition they were in. They're young, Fanny (one w/the bad knees) being 5 & Shilo only 2 almost 3 (not sure of her age). They both had peridontal disease & Shilo had two teeth extractions from decay. They were placed w/out being spayed, anybody could have adopted them.

Jenny - now that her name is out there - would you mind stating the names of the sire & dam?

And what is her kennel name?

Also, did your friend contact the breeder to tell her about the LP and dental problems? I'm just curious as to what the breeder's response was.

I don't condone this kind of breeding - I just wanted to make sure that other breeders weren't included in this disclosure if it wasn't directly related to their breeding.

And yes, just because someone has a CH it does not guarantee that they have the best dogs. The best dog doesn't always win at the shows, either.

As many have said here - check out the breeder first.

This is sad and I hope that we find out who's line the LP is coming from.
