So I guess now I just don't trust many. I mean I know a breeder can not say a dog will be x amt of pounds or x amount of coat and such. But when one tells you the puppy WON'T be over 4 lbs or she would keep her for breeding then you pay her 300 more for that one than the other one and she knew it was because of size she quoted with point blank positive talk and how she had 2 breeders try to buy it and she wouldnt sell it to them, then to me that is just not right. Dont get me wrong. I love kizzy and I want another one, but I would never buy anything from either breeders i've bought from before. I know some people will send in and get registeration papers for like 5 pups. then maybe one or two die and they take a couple from another litter which have bigger parents and register them to the smaller parents and I also know some DO have kennels somewhere on their property and just a few small cages in their house and pretend these puppies are all raised in this clean house and all then you find out they had kennels some place way off on their land where you dont see them and raise all breeds rather than the 3 breeds they claimed was all they had. SEE why I feel like I do. That is why i posted what I did, because I am reading more and more that breeders want your history as to show how you are gonna treat this dog yet you dont get that on them. I have learned a lot now from the two I did business with. I wont say all breeders are bad or do any of the things I just mentioned but I will say next one I buy will come from someone I know or get references on pups she/he has sold before. I think the info should go both ways personally. I've never put either of these breeders names on here as I feel I was ripped off by them but I am not into a smear campaign against anyone that I cant prove did something unscruptous. One puppy I gave 300 dollars for, mixed maltese and poodle, so maltepoo and I totally gave it away and lost everything I had put into it. Even had it neutered and all. It was so hyper it wasnt still except when it was asleep. and I know the breeder couldnt say it wouldnt be. But it kept growing and growing and it was suppose to stay under 6 lbs and last time he was weighed he weighed 8 lbs and still growing. So I gave him to a lady for her little 9 year old daughter whos puppy had got killed. She felt that if he had a child to run and play outside with he would be ok. I was upfront about everything with her before she took the dog. She came to my house and saw exactly how hyper he was. So now you see why I am leary of people. I sure hope you all understand and do not hate me for stating my opinion here. But if so, so be it. I just been thinking on my post since I wrote it and didnt want people to think I meant all breeders are bad. But it is something you learn about some as you go I suppose. Next time anyone tells me distinctively a puppy WILL NOT be over x amt of lbs I will make sure I get it in writing, or I will NOT buy it, since they feel so knowlegible and positive about it they want 300 extra bucks for it. I think she must have seen me coming and she knew I fell in love with it when I saw it. The reason I know some breeders do take some that are not the true puppies is because my neice had 5 snauzers and a guy came to her and wanted to buy them all and he told her that sometimes one or two of his puppies die and he buys others (cheaper ones) to use the registration papers for, hers were ckc and he sold akc. So she wouldnt sell him any of hers. So that to me is very very unethical and down right sorry of him. So please understand why I posted what I did. Sorry for the long post. |
