A quality breeder's biggest fear is that our dogs will end up poorly cared for or in a puppy mill.
I'm happy that you love your new boy, and I do hope that you breed him wisely and for the betterment of the breed. Marshall is capable of producing wonderful puppies when bred to a quality bitch and if you understand what qualities he brings the table. |
I am so sorry that you had to find out in this way what happened to your lovely boy.
No matter what a contract says, there are some underlying principles and ethics involved with breeding, showing, and ownership of all dogs.
Here in Canada it is pretty common to sell on co-ownership if the dog is on full/open registration.
