[OwnedByJezebel]

I've run into ignorant people like that at the dog park.

One had a tiny Yorkie and was telling everyone that she was going to breed her. When I asked how much the pup weighed (3.5#) and told her how dangerous it was, she said "no problem, we'll just get a c-section," and she shrugged her sholders, like "no big deal." Anything else I tried to say fell on deaf ears, so I just had to bite my tongue and walk away. As I was walking away, someone asked her where she got the Yorkie, and she said "Trader's Village," which is a flea market! There are many brokers there that sell from puppy mills, so not only was the dog too small, she had NO idea what the dog's background was.

Another time I was approached by a man wanting to know if Jezebel had been fixed, and of course she had been. She's my spunky, high spirited, friendly girl, but she's far from breeding material! Twelve pounds, ears didn't stand, cotton coat .... I love her to death, but really! To top it off, his dog was a mutt ... probably one of the cutest mutts I have ever seen, but a mutt and he had no idea what breeds were part of his background. Although he did know the dog's dam, because she owned her and she was right there. You couldn't tell what breeds were in her make-up, either, and she and her son looked nothing alike. Very cute small dogs (exceptionally cute), but really? Not breeding material at all. And the very idea that he thought I would be willing to risk the life of my girl to have the pups of a mutt?

These people are everywhere. I don't know what they are thinking.
