I also have never seen Dee say breeding a 10month old dog is good, but then I haven't really checked either. Has she said so? If so, I'm very disappointed. And since I'm an accountant by trade, if your mentor produced 100 champions in 40 years, I'm assuming she must have produced a whole lot more than 100 dogs to get those champions? Here I go with my assuming again... lets say most litters have 4 dogs just to make the math easy. I don't really know myself but most of the show breeders say they "hope" to have one good dog to show from the litter and lets assume she did and also assume she also finished each of those, based on that, would it not mean that your mentor has produced something in the neighborhood of 400 dogs total to get those 100 champions? Now 400 dogs in 40 years totals 10 dogs per year. If Dee has produced 40 dogs in 4 years, isn't that also 10 dogs per year? Again, lots of assumptions on my part but just playing devils advocate.... |
The # of dogs were brought out for various issues. One was Dee's inability or reluctance to refund, yes refund Renee's money.
However, in the comparison of my mentor to this particular breeder, well there is no comparison. My mentor breeds to improve the breed and always stands behind her breeding. All of her money does go back into her breeding, whether it be for medical care, food, and/or showing. Yes, she may have produced quite a few dogs over the years, but her breeding program is a bit larger breeding as most breeders of her caliber and doesn't over breed any female. Not so with the this breeder.
