Now that I cleared that up (above). I thought this seemed like a nice friendly board to share and get advice on a breed i really know very little about. Somewhere to share her photos ,growing up cuties, with people whom also share their hearts with the same breed of dog. I dont see the welcome wagon I do see a bunch of torches and some people on some witch hunt.
Before assuming all people are stupid out buying mill puppies-maybe get to know them a little. As is my case I do know the owners of my dogs parents even if from an "evil" pet store, I do know the entire history of their store since the day it was opened, I do know the owners well enough that I do trust them 110pct.
Im not about to be taken by some breeder again-ever. It was an expensive experience in my wallet and my heart. Crying daily for 4 months-knowing I couldn't keep my dog in my residential neighborhood and around my kids, knowing I had to send him somewhere safe for him. I cried for hours everyday for 4months-I paid for paying a "show line"breeder with all the nice little plaques, awards, letters of recommendation. I paid with a piece of my heart that will never be returned-you see I loved that dog deeply, the school I took him to to keep trying to socialize him said they had never seen a dog so proud to be with his owner nor loved his owner as deeply as my dog loved me. We were as bonded as it gets. I will never recover from that experience, I will never have that void filled as it has been several years and it hurts just as much as back then, I have been scarred-so yes I am anti breeder unless I know them well or someone I trust knows them well. I will never again be the fool. |
