I can't speak to what a breeder should do about an owner whose puppies die -- but I can tell you that I know a couple of pairs of long range truckers who have small dogs that have thrived on the road. They make frequent stops to walk the dogs and they team drive - so the dogs actually get more attention than they would if the owners had traditional 9-5 jobs. Perhaps they are the exception rather than the rule but I would suspect there's more to the story than that breeder gave you.
Good luck with the training. I'm looking for a place to train me (Tallulah is fine - I'm the one that needs to be trained) right after the first of the year. |
I take back that puppies cannot thrive with a pair of truck drivers. The one he was speaking of seemed to not be a very good owner and he just kept giving her more puppies. How many times does a dog have to die before you realize she was irresposible?
