I agree with you.
However, this breeder must have had several litters because she didn't even know which one I was talking about even after I told her that the birthdate was 7/30/11. She asked me whose names were on the papers! She acted like she was bothered by the fact that I was asking how old her puppies are when they are adopted out ( 8 weeks, not a good sign ) and about the size of his parents. She didn't want to email me pictures either. She told me today that she's "going outta town for work" and to text her in a couple weeks. I will contact her again and ask for pics, but I'll probably never get any. Even if I do, they may not be Bear's real parents, who knows! I don't trust her even for a minute. She mixes breeds and has more puppies for sale right now. I hardly consider her a reputable breeder.
