This is true to a great extent but when dealing with pups that change so much as they grow up, you can run into problems occasionally. I can only estimate growth, coat quality and quantity, and temperament. If a bitch turns into a real bitch when grown or a dog turns out too shy to show, a person can get unhappy. You can't predict the future and some people just don't want to accept that. That being said, I'm sure that at 7 months Jessica's dog would have shown it's true colors at least a bit and someone (whoever had him previously) would have known. There is also no excuse for not telling a prospective buyer about a health issue or physical fault. I was lied to once by a breeder that I purchased a dog from over the internet (not Jendas). Eventually the dog turned out to be a prize though she still has issues. I consider her my rescue ( I took her out of a bad situation) and she's special to me, hang ups and all. I can sympathize with Jessica's situation, I simply hate to see Jenda's trashed when Mary Lou is involved and I've had good experiences with her.
