 I don't know about this---
For the most part people coming here for puppies are highly educated professionals with a long history as pet owners. They often talk very lovingly about a dog they just lost to old age. We establish common ground for a conversation and decide about a puppy based on a feeling of mutual trust. If I felt the need to phone someone's vet I would not even consider letting them have my puppy. I always do ask them to tell me about their past experience with pets, and you'd be surprised how often people will tell about how bad they felt last year when they had to give their Cocker Spaniel to rescue because it was untrainable. No, they don't get my puppy after that. |
