I'm proud of you for speaking your mind and caring for your babies. I use to breed pits so, I've been both sides of the fence. Nothing irked me more than when people would call and ask how cheap will you go and are they gamey. Gamey in pits means they want to fight them, and if all you care about is how cheap I will go obviously you don't have the money they will require to take care of them. My dogs were family pets not fighters. I'm out of the business now because of people like that, and I've been wanting a Yorkie for years, so I came here to educate myself before I get one. This way when I do make calls I can ask intelligent questions instead of sounding like a complete dummy. I call, introduce myself, and start off just telling them something about me and my family. I always offer a home inspection, my vets name and number, and my groomer. I have a little poodle now, which I found at the pound. I always got a positive response from the breeders I talked to, but when I found Suiki at the pound I knew she was the one from me. As far as showing I too have disablities that would make it very hard for me to show, so if you ever just want to talk to someone you can email me to just talk. Yeah! for you speaking your mind, and letting people know all breeders are not bad people. Just people who really care about their pets, their family really. |
