I'm sure you will love your dog no less, but it would have been nice to know.
Also, breeders own the "breeding rights" of their puppies. It is for them to decide whom they will allow to be bred and not bred - not the purchaser. They have control over their own line and rightfully so. A lot of reputable breeders also have in their contract that if the buyer is no longer able to provide a home for the pup, the dog is to be returned to the breeder or the breeder is to be contacted. Reputable breeders do not want their dogs bounced from home to home or want inexperienced ppl placing their dogs.
From the AKC breeders I know, they would be highly upset that their dog was bounced through 4 owners, was never neutered as was supposed to be, and now the 4th owner is calling them demanding breeding rights.
I hope I'm not coming off as rude; however, I thought you should understand the breeder's side of this. I wish you well, hope the pup has found her forever home, and will be well taken care of. From the breeder's standpoint though, I would be livvid if I were her/him. |
the original owner did try to give back to breeder but was too inconvenient for her to get the dog back bc they lived 5 hrs away so she placed her in a temp home where supposedly one of her siblings was.... then the third home had two established pomeranians after 8 years and gabby didnt mix in well. i personally dont know about contracts and all that bc my first baby just came with his papers and for a much lesser price.... so i only know what i know. and what i read on ckc site.... i first asked for papers from breeder bc i thought they came with dog. i dont feel like i am demanding, i just dont know how it all works. i just know what i was told
thanks for your input.
