I talked with the breeder today and questioned the contract. I also mention how I was left feeling like this in "my thoughts" was a "Bait and switch" kindof of tactic.
Speaking openly and honestly with her, about my concerns. We talked on the phone for nearly 2hrs. Now, I consider myself a pretty good judge of character and for the most part can tell when someone is being deceptive and stumbling for words in order to hide from something. I didn't see any of this!
What I did see was that, She was trying to cover herself from Maybe inexperienced new puppy owners running up Vet bills or maybe even bringing the puppy to inexperienced vet's for this particular breed or small breed dogs and just "Hen-Pecking" through a list of potential problems running up the cost of the bill and NOT really getting to the bottom of the problem to begin with...
I Get this.....
and I understand NOT everyone's thought process is the same.. Some are very simple minded and clueless regardless of what you tell them. And then there are also people out there looking for FREE Rides and are maybe even wanting to get free VET CARE and blame the breeder for the issues just as a Scam..
Yeah !!! I know... But not everyone is so sincere.
and that's why I'm asking...
What would you do?
I'm just looking for a New addition to the family, It'll actually be my Mother's dog but we're family so he'll truly be an addition to OUR extended family.
I'm just trying to help her to find a "Healthy" Purebred Forever friend from a breeder that's not going to take her for a ride. No pun intended.
I've considered the option of buying from well known breeders out of state, But I feel that you would really want to be able to hold and bond with your new puppy prior to purchasing.. you know like online dating.. lol You'll never know what you getting into until you actually see them in person.
