I dont think its a terrible food myself it just depends on what type of ingredients you want to feed your dog and everyone has their own idea of that |
I sold a Yorkie to someone that took him to a vet...that vet also told the person the dog was NOT a Yorkie, but a silkie, based on nothing but his size. He did not even structurally resemble a silkie...I could NOT believe what was being said....got a lawyer.....they submitted the dogs neuter receipt, but it said Silkie in the Breed section....My lawyer advised to contact the vet as well as the owner, and inform them this person was not sold a silkie and when I received a proof of neuter on the pup I sold that person, the dogs registeration papers could be sent to the owner. I never received any other communication from the new owner or the vet. I hope they DNA'd that dog so they could see how STUPID their vet is....not that it would have made any difference to them, I am sure. It is inconceiveable that a vet can be so bold as to make a statement that a dog is not a purbred just from looking at it....such statements can cast doubt on a breeders reputation and business....not to mention, if the dog is DNA'd, and it turns out to be a purebred, then what does the vet say???? "I am sorry, I made a terrible mistake and made a stupid guess about your dog", or "You got an ugly purebred".....
