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. |
You just cannot give it a rest! Who says this breeder is bad. Have you been there and checked it out? Yes, she's letting her puppies go at 8 weeks, but guess what...she's not the first nor the last to do that. There have been breeders right here on YT that sell their dogs before 12 weeks and they tell the buyer to not tell anyone on YT. Good grief.
Patti, who you quoted on your last message has a yorkie named Cali. She paid thousands for that yorkie and got her from an excellent breeder. Cali has numerous problems including grade 4 LP and very bad allergies to where she has to be on expensive meds each day.
Just because someone gets a dog from a pet store or a back yard breeder is not a guarantee that dog will have health problems, just as getting a dog from a good breeder does not guarantee that dog to be healthy. You take a chance whenever getting a puppy.
To the OP...I will pm you for your address. I would love to send you a few things.
