None of them would knowingly or intentionally do anything wrong.
Some show breeders I find a little cold and callous actually. They are sometimes rude and arrogant and don't have "time" to devote to a "newbie" who just wants a pet. I have heard this complaint over and over from people frsutrating by those telling them they shoudl buy from a show breeder and then not being able to find a show breeder who would give them the time of day.
This is just my own experience that I am siting and maybe i have just been lucky but I try very hard not to judge people too harshly. |
I had a very similar experience this last weekend with some showers. I went to a show here in town. We waited all day for the yorkies to show and they were an hour late behind schedule as well. So the normal thing you want to do while waiting is talk to the exhibitors. Well they were a rude and obnoxious bunch of ladies. I can understand if they were busy, but like I said the show was running behind and the dog's were already primped up. I have not ever had a good experience talking to exhibitors.
