I believe most show breeders would love to be able to place all their show prospects into show homes, but our environment has made that a very difficult thing to do. Which is sad. There are people out there that would only do right by the dog, but because the show breeder at one time had a bad experience many novice will never receive the chance. That is a shame. |
Ahh you beat me to it. I just found this thread. You are right there and trust me people, what you might think of as rumours are not. The rumours that might be going on are very quickly found to be untrue and they die. The truths, however, are a different story.
Actions speak way louder than words and many have found out the hard way that some can talk a good story but do something else entirely. A contract with a handshake is so far from being any good anymore. A contract in writing can still land you in court anyway as you may have to end up there to enforce that contract. What a pain in the toosh!!!
And you are right. If I were a newbie trying to get started in the show world now, I don't know if I could Show breeders were burned years ago, in my opinion but based on what I see now, it is far worse than I have known about in the 10 years I have been in this.
