You want to call my vet, I'll list all 20++ of them that love me. Ask me my income and it's none of your business. |
We don't ask for income. I just believe that people who are selling or adopting dogs out should be more aware of who they are handing living beings over to. Do they have a history of having cared for dogs? Do they know what good vetting is? If I were a breeder, I would honestly not care what someone thought about my questions. My dogs to place and I certainly would not give them to just anyone with money in hand. Just selling to a person because they say they will do the right thing is not the answer. I would rather lose one good owner than sell to three bad ones. The pups are the ones who pay the ultimate price of poor placements
We don't ask people questions just because we have donors we answer to........we ask because we don't want a pup we saved to be dumped yet another time in his/her short life.
