If they won't invest in healthy breed worthy stock, what do people think they do when a problem arises? If you are buying a puppy from someone that targets you, think they are breeding well or will stand behind a contract? A contract doesn't mean much more than the paper its on if they don't live up to them. 1500 is it worth going to court? Its well known what usually happens. We see it here daily. Homes should be lined up before having liters.
It bothers me to see puppies treated like car parts. Then when there's a problem, accountability at best.
I see a lot of advice given by people that have never bred, some are only a year into the breed. Some are on their first one. One time we had a child giving advice on how to whelp. People can be helpful to newbies when they have more exper than they do. But I see advice that makes me shake my head.
I question my own motive and impact of being here each time a beating heart is treated like a car part. How can you give another person your vision for these wee ones? Its it possible or are we by way of enabling? Are we supporting it all the same by helping uneducated breeders breed successfully? We can't allow suffering, that's never a choice.
I don't know anything about
Natalie. Is she the lady here selling tinies?

Yes Elle, Natalie is the Breeder that is still selling Tea Cups on YT...
