I wish the breeder that I had my Robbie from had been more responsible, yes I felt I ask all the right questions, I went through the kennel club site and was recommended to her from a kc breeder that did not have any pups at the time.
I had to wait 6 months but finally was able to go and view a litter I picked out Rob and he was handed over at eight weeks.
I can only say as for his temperament he was a wonderful dog but as for his health poor little chap was not so good.
He had a testicle that did not drop I contacted the breeder who said "well I will take him back" I said that was not what I wanted but that she should be aware of his problem as I understood that she should not be breeding from his parents, she was happy with that and ended up putting the phone down.
We then discovered he had irritable bowel, and luxating patellas in both knees that had to be operated on.
Robbie passed away a year ago this month after a long illness with his bowel and tummy he was only three.
So please be responsible if you breed!!. |
