I practically chanted for 500 miles, "I will not take this puppy unless I see his home and at least one parent". And then folded like a piece of wet newspaper when they said they had just bought a new car and wanted to meet me part way instead of sitting home waiting. Once they popped out of their car with that little boy wrapped in a baby blanket with only his pig tail showing, I'd have taken him if he only had three legs and one eye... I'm just sayin'...
He's adorable... he's healthy... I have no reason to believe he is other than presented... but in retrospect, I am amazed how willing I was to break my own resolve, and can identify with those who have similar experiences, and have empathy for those that are scammed by slick volume breeders with glossy websites. |
Yes, you have given a great example why it good to know the breeder and understand her breeding program way before you ever look at the puppies.
