THAT is a reasonsible breeder -- doing her job herself -- not subjecting a pup in transition to have another adjustment that is unneccesary. The pups do not leave sick. |
Thank you for posting this - yes those ARE the signs of a responsible and caring breeder who takes the time and strives to have healthy puppies....I can underrstand an outbreak.... but not an ongoing problem....as with my Chanels Breeder - she even REVISED her contract to cover her butt for coccidia - so she obviously is STILL selling sick puppies.
I wouldn't wish what Chanel went through on anyone - she was sooo little and so very sick - it was truly a heartwrenching experience to go thru - and took ALL the excitment out of a new baby... because, you may LOSE that baby due to something beyond our control...
