Hi. As a new breeder myself, I'm quite busy right now. I have 4 dogs (1 Yorkie) and the amount of time I need to take care of them etc. does take up some time. Sometimes I'm surprised how long it takes me to get everything done. So I can begin to understand, but I don't think I am up to the level of other breeders (because I do not show, do not own a kennel, am not a professional groomer etc.) I'm one to ask alot of questions and have alot of concerns whenever I buy a pup from any breeder. I find that alot of breeders can be rude. I understand that many have their reasons to be somewhat overwhelmed, but as a breeder, you should be prepared for that. That is never going to change. If times are inconvenient or hectic, then you must do what you must. (call back, have them call you back etc.) But again, I would rather have someone ask me tons of questions, then to ask me only a few. You can tell when people are interested and caring by the way they talk and what they ask. A little off topic, sometimes I'll ask questions to a pet owner at a pet store or something, and they are just rude. I come across dogs that are more friendly then their owners. Getting back to the subject, I know (not by full experience since I am just beginning) that it takes alot to be a good breeder that breeds because they love to improve the standard etc., but I think you as a breeder should expect that. I keep in touch with all of my past sellers/breeders until this day. And unless inconvenient, they have no problem at all speaking with me. I visit them til this day, and I believe that is how it should be. It should be more about the relationship then just a purchase. I just think as a breeder you should be prepared in dealing with so many inquiries. (I am preparing myself for that now...lol) That's all
. Thanks!
