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??

Oh boy! Here we go again..................

This was a member of YT who you were dealing with? It's such a shame to hear things like this yet again. I'm so very sorry but reputable breeders do not "rescue" and use those dogs to breed. This just makes me so sick. Did you hook up with this woman in a PM? There seems to be a lot of that type of behind the scene sales going on and with things like Google more and more shady people are finding their way onto the forum.
