 Sad story
That is a sad story. The people sound completely ignorant for not having a nonbreeding dog neutered, what did they expect? I can devote time and energy if I know it will likely pay off. And I have a doctorate in clinical psychology, so I damn well better have the basics of reinforcement down. The breeder I am buying from does not advertise in the paper, and seems very ethical (I have done the research on finding a breeder). She will give me a pedigree, and although the champions in the line are far back, she said she breeds more for temperament that show-dog potential. So, hopefully this little girl will not be overly stubborn. We get to pick between two. Any good ideas on how to evaluate which one might end up more laid back? |
