I have written in my contracts, that under no circumstance is the puppy to be taken to a shelter, or even given or sold to someone else. If the party can no longer keep the dog, for whatever reason, the dog is to come back to me.
However if the people were to move away and decide it would be easier to take the dog to a shelter, than to ship it back to me, it could happen that one of my dogs would end up in a shelter.
Does that make me a bad breeder?
The flippant answer from the worker was uncalled for, the fact that they did not read the report before giving answers shows negligence on their part.
Maybe it was poor training, maybe it was poor attitude. Either way it does not appear that they were trying to make a good fit, they were just trying to get rid of a dog.
The OP had every right to question it and to expect a legitimate answer. And I don't see why she is being chided for it. |
