Feel free to call me one of the polite police or whatever but that was the way I was raised to be. I still think you can get a point across in a nice way whether the person is new or long term member. Believe me I hate seeing any member leave new or old. I don't generally get involved in these type of threads as I don't need the stress so this will be my last post on this. |
Having a dog that came from a puppy mill before I found this site and knew all the stuff I know now, I could not understand why any one would want to to buy from a puppy mill or bad breeder after knowing its a bad breeder and could have many health problems. No I would not trade Callie for anything but it would have been nice to know about puppy mills and such when I was getting a puppy. I get so mad when people say well it will be ok and stuff when they haven't had a dog from a bad breeder or puppy mill that has problems. Callie came from a broker who got there dogs from a puppy mill. She has LP in both legs one had to have surgery for it because her ACL was partially torn the other will tear within 2 years, the allergies she have can get pretty bad, her skin breaks out like crazy, she has mild collapsing trachea which could cause problems when she gets older, she is definitely not to standard which is not a flaw to me but would be to some, she has hypoglycemic episodes that the cause can not be found and has its own problems like never being able to leave her alone. I just wish people would not do whats wrong when they know its wrong and then everybody wants to coddle them.
