 They say Inbreeding is OK
I was going to buy a Newfoundland puppy from them that they said they didn't want to register,(Even though supposedly the parents are AKC and both there on site)because they wanted him to be a pet. I brought up limited registration which is designed specifically for the purpose of registering your purebred but not for breeding or showing purposes. They completely ignored that and continued to acccuse me repeatedly that I wanted him for breeding. I meantioned a pedigree and was told that I just needed to take their word for it that the puppies were purebred and had no inbreeding, Besides according to them inbreeding only matters if you are going to breed the animal. According to them inbreeding doesn't have any effect on an animal that is solely a pet! And in their emails they called me uneducated, Ha, That's funny!!!
I also wanted to go to their facility to pick the puppy up. They ABSOLUTELY would not let me under any circumstances!
I wish I could post the ongoing emails, but the file is to big. It would leave most of you speechless. In my initial email telling them that I had changed my mind about the puppy and that I understood that I would not be receiving my deposit back, I said that "I had researched the breed but not breeders and I nievely thought that basic morals and values were standard" and I felt as though they weren't being completely forthcoming with me about the puppys' lineage. Their response and I quote was "Basic morals and values are not standard in the business place" but I should just "take their word on it and build a relationship on trust"
If anyone has any doubts about Jarbeth kennels I would be more than happy to share more of my very recent experience with them. Good luck finding your sweet little babies but as far as Jarbeth Kennels goes, I say buyer beware.
P.S. We did find a sweet little AKC registered newfoundland male and we couldn't be more happy! He makes our family complete!!!! |
