If you don't want to answer those questions again on this thread, then what's that mean about you? There weren't many and according to EVERYONE you take the time to dedicate yourself to the breed and answer questions. I'm not berading you, nor am I accusing you. I have some very valid questions that I- as just another potential puppy owner -would like to have answer. Even if we don't exchange payment and puppy, why clam up and not answer them? It's what, like 5? And how can I possibly use your answers to attack you if you answer them? That's stupid. I'm not looking for ammo. I'm looking for answers. |
since you had no problem digging up this thread to question me, I figured you would have no problem operating 'search'. I am not clamming up, I am just busy. I don't recall saying anything about 'ammo' or that being a concern at all.
