Ok, well, for those of you following my other thread, you know about how I had put another pup on deposit only to have it sold to someone offering almost double. Anyway, a lady on here had seen my thread, and offered to let me see one of her pups. She made it sound like she only had 1 litter and that she showed dogs regularly. So, I got all excited that maybe I would find a mentor as well as a puppy... BIG MISTAKE....

I just got back from her house, and let me say, I have been in barns that smelled better. She opened the door with 2 of the cutest puppies I have ever seen, but when I walked inside, I was greeted with no less than 13 dogs! And, whats worse, is you could hear MANY more barking from the back of the house. She said that she had "rescued" them all from a Kennel that had been shut down, only to follow up with she was planning on breeding a few of them.

She said that her dog was a Champion, but his topline was off, his ears and snout too long... I just... I dunno, is it ALWAYS this frustrating to buy a dog? I dont want to buy a dog from a BYB which is what she so obviously is (and if you are reading Lucy, this you should be ASHAMED!) but I really want a puppy.... any suggestions??
