I have to agree...this breeder should be more accomodating. he should not be concerned with his own feelings but what is best for the puppy.
I really do not mind helping, in fact, I am excited about it. but it just makes me so mad to think that someone is breeding these dogs for profit, and acting this way about it. He really does not seem to have the puppy's best interest at heart. I don't know all of the details, but from what I am gathering, it does not seem that he is being very nice about it. I'm sorry, but if I were breeding dogs...no matter what the breed...I would constantly be concerned with how the pups are doing and would never...NEVER.. under any circumstances...ship a puppy somewhere where the owner cannot pick him up. I mean..you say to the breeder that you are moving to a new state, the dog is being shipped to the new state you are moving to, and you will not be there until the 13th and he still insists on shipping the puppy on the 9th??? what a jerk! really...where are his morals?
sorry, I went off on a rampage here. I just love animals so much and it kills me to think he is acting this way with one of his babies. I just dont think you should be breeding unless you have a true passion for the animals and it just doesn't seem like he does. he has a passion for money. period. i am saying "he" but he or she...either way...is completely wrong here IMO.
again...I am so excited to help with this puppy. I think he looks like such a sweetheart and I am sure maggie will love having a puppy to play with.
I look forward to meeting his mommy as well, I am sure she will be releived to have him in her arms
