Do you have the money for emergency's like a c-section? If they mother dies do you have the ability to get up every couple of hours to hand feed the pups? Do you know the lines of these pups to make sure they don't have certain illnesses? Do you have the money to have them health tested for anything they could pass to the pups or to make sure they are healthy? Do you have a mentor to help you when whelping? How do you know your dogs are an excellent example of the breed? |
I'm not going to breed them if the male is too big. That's why I'm upset at how big he is going to be. The female I have is in excellent health and she is a sweetheart. She would make a great mother of a litter or two. She is a great dog and show quality at that. I am not sure if you are asking me those questions but yes to all. I have the time and the money to do all the above, thanks for your concern on my financial behalf and responsibility.
The breeder put on a great act, with a very detailed website and paperwork. I trusted her. Her female and male dogs live in a nice home, not a kennel. She welcomed us in her home. She put on a good show. I found out after i received the little guy that the other two were sold at 5 weeks when I started asking about them. I felt something was fishy, but I let it pass with trust.
