I do think many in the general public have no idea of what it costs to keep a pet. They buy them from pet shops with no screening or advice, and find they cannot keep the pet when it falls ill or needs a vet.
I think the secret of great placement, from what you say, is that the person has experience of having pets and all it entails, and a good track record.
On the other hand there are people who will adopt or buy their first pet, and how do we deal with screening those folks?
Perhaps that is the chink in the armor here?
I congratulate you on your having no returns, that is very comforting. |
I won't deal with them. Maybe that sounds horrible to some, but I owe my pups not the general public.
I don't consider it my life's mission to stop people from buying pups. I don't think everyone should have one and if everyone who bred them would realize that and stop letting any Tom, Dick or Harry get a dog then our problems would be less. My opinion of course.
