When I was looking to buy a new male, the breeders I contacted were ones I knew and knew me. My inquiry to them was not how much for a stud dog and do you have one now?
My inquiry was, I am looking for a nice show male from your blood lines, then outlined what I am looking for in a new male, how he might compliment what I have and what I am hoping to improve. And that I am willing to wait and wait I did, contacting the breeder every 2 or 3 months for two years before Albert joined my family who I showed and he has his championship.
I would expect at least that from anyone who may inquire from me about something from me to add to their breeding program.
See the difference in the intent of a breeder wanting to improve their lines and hopefully increase their chances of producing nice show dogs and with the goal of doing the best for the breed? |
