The reason I was careful purchasing my puppies was for the same reason, I wanted to make sure they were healthy and had a good temperament. I previously had acquired a Llaso Apso puppy from a home who no longer wanted a puppy. He became blind and had a very bad disposition. He would growl and snap without notice at times. My children were younger at the time and had a lot of friends over. I was terrified that the dog would harm someone. It became my belief that small 'cute' dogs were badly misbred for a buck and I did not want to go through that again. I so adore my puppies, I wish I could give everyone one, unfortunately after my first litter - I decided I was the only one who could give them the proper home - so I kept them (greedy me : )
Your mother is a kind and generous person, let her have her make believe dream. I think of many silly things that I think would make the world a better place, it doesn't mean I will do it. It is much better than being depressed and saddened by how mean and nasty this world is becomming. |
