It's not for the love of the animal, it's about money, at all costs even health. But she's already attached to her little girl (I can understand that. It's not the puppies fault they are there). I wish there was more I could do, and I know she's having doubts now because she sent her money and now the breeder hasn't called her back with flight information. What else can I do?? 
The website is www.classywags.com |
That's a shame and I wish her the best of luck....My husband had cockers for the last 25 years - before I knew him -
When we first met - we got Tessa, my Cocker where he got his other 2.......His breeder had about 200 cockers - I was IN SHOCK when I walked in that place but didn't know 8 years ago that this was a small version mill. We left with Tessa....(she was adorable) but I was really upset about all the cages and barking and the smell - little did I know....now I think about that place and it makes me really angry.
We took her to the vet - he said she had the most severe underbite he'd seen in a long time - I asked what could we do and he mentioned her being put down ? NO WAY ! I bought her to the car crying - no way were they touching her.
Tessa has to be hand fed everyday because of her severe underbite - I mean EVERY DAY. When she was a baby she couldn't grasp the puppy food....She probably can now but she's not used to eating by herself so I hand feed her still.
An underbite is MINOR compared to what some possibly people face when getting a puppy from a mill....
I hope she has a healthy cocker - they're very sweet and are great dogs...
