I just read the site and I must be overlooking the part where they don't allow a potential buyer to come to their home to see puppies before buying..Is the site re-edited and that statement left out? I am just curious about that among other things.
I am not saying we are flaming them but, MyTy did go back and say her puppy was 13 weeks not 8. I have spoken to these people before and helped a friend get a puppy from them several years ago. My friend's home burned and all of her pets were killed. That puppy is healthy and happy and is 3+ years old..
As for allowing peole in their home, I do not allow people in my home when I have a new or very young litter. I have known several puppies that were bought from a "wonderful, beautiful mansion on a horse farm" who had Neopar at 4 weeks and still died of parvo by 3 months. Seems the parvo was carried in on the shoes. So, I would ask anyone to take off their shoes before coming into my home.. I have so few puppies, I don't have that as a worry. But, as we discussed on another thread...a person needs to make appts before going to look at a puppy in a home. The buyer then knows the breeder knows they are coming and will be home. And, the breeder can make arrangements to house the other dogs so they don't swarm. My dogs love company and if I don't Xpen them, they trip over themselves getting to all company. Bad comment on my training, huh?
I say to ALWAYS do your homework and get the name of the breeder's vet for reference. The only reason to get the name of an owner of their puppies would be....well, I can't think of one. After all, who would give the name of an unhappy buyer. I tell these things to everyone who calls me for a puppy, mine or anyone else's.. |
