PLEASE read my original post then response...respecfully...I said that if you do your homeowork...attend dog shows...THIS IS #1...with time and experience you can find a quality bitch or dog without having to spend thousands of dollars...I've done it, my sister has done it,...I will come to your club and show you my results...AND STILL NOT A ONE OF YOU HAVE SAID THAT I HAVE GIVEN THIS PERSON WRONG ADVICE...You all have gone on a tangent about me advicing someone to buy a pup from the newspaper... I did noy advise this...I SAID I LOOKED AT TENS OF LITTERS...and know the breed standard...GEEEEZE!!!!! |

You did advise to buy from the classifieds, as you did it. And buying this way you don't know what your dog will produce. You don't know the lines, you haven't followed the dam/sire offspring and their offspring. Not good advice no matter how you spin it. What has been omitted her is having your dog evaluated; not only health tested but evaluated, by a qualified judge/breeder/handler/exhibitor. You can't go to shows and sit as a spectator and learn the breed. Impossible, can't do it without a mentor. |

You can read all you want, attend as many shows as you want. But with out a quality mentor, you are never going to start a quality breeding program. And I guarantee, a good mentor is not going to tell anyone that they will find a good breeder from the classifieds. They are going to send them in the direction of another quality breeder with a proven history of healthy dogs that consistently meet breed standard. And a good stud owner isn't going to want to dilute their lines with a substandard bitch either. If you say you got a good one after looking at 10's of litters, then lucky you. But it isn't the norm. |

Now should your method, over time stack up against the Roberta Rothenbachs, Lorraine Hayes, Doreen Hubbards, Gordon Sisters.....then I might concede that your way is ok. And until you have a record that matches the aforementioned and all the top breeders that came before them....maybe, just maybe I'll listen and afford you the same allegence that I give them. |
One might get lucky and might choose the healther pup from a litter when buying from a newpaper, sure. BUT, bargin shopping for a pup is not something I am willing to do. I got a steal on Maddie from the classifieds, however, 2 and a half years later and numerous trips to our vet, the Emergency clinic, and the UT Vet. school to see specialists...$1000 dollars doesn't begin to touch what I have spent on her. All these trips were for ONE genetic disorder she has. Who can afford to pay $1000 for a pup? The answer is simple- IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT, DON'T BUY ONE. ETA: I bought Maddie before I was a member here and found YT while searching for answers one Sunday as she was running around dragging her face on the floor. |
You know Mardelin...you should run for president...tell all here...quote me that I gave someone advice to buy a pup from the newspaper...WHAT I SAID IS THAT ITS TAKES YEARS!!!!...I will still match my bitch against your in confirmation!!!... STUDY THE BREED STANDARD...THEN GO TO AS MANY DOG SHOWS AS POSSIBLE...you say you can't study a dog from shows...then explain how you do...what is this magic formula that your mentor taught you...you have yet to mention this...you really should run for president...all you do is talk in circles...Invite me to your club...I'll bring my newspaper bitch with me...lets talk monetary...quality...conformation...I dare you...your always defending never giving fact...GIVE THE BREAK DOWN... |

Mardelin has been nothing but polite and informative in her responses to you, while you have been rude and confrontational. |

Believe me my mentor put me through the ringer. Yes, she's one at the top. And how she taught me is something she doesn't release readily only to those that are willing to learn the correct way and have the best interest of the breed at heart. Dare me, excuse me, isn't that something you do in elementary school. How absolutely childish. Meet me in the ring and see if your bitch can match against my dogs. I don't think so...since they come from the best lines out there. Talking in circles, I guess you would think so, since you don't understand the basic concept of what it takes to be a reputable breeder. |

What I read is you have an axe to grind. The "breakdown of costs" has been posted here numerous times. Exercise your fingers on a search to obtain sam In fact I myself as a stud owner of a Yorkie posted those breakdowns not a wk ago, on a thread. to Purchase a show pup, and to finish this dog in a |CH in the USA given you show your self. 12 shows minimum.. $8000 That includes the cost to travel, hotel room, all grooming and training for shows, and the costs to purchase said pup. This a very rock bottom minimum. Pre breeding tests, including OFA, CERF, Bats, thyroid. heart, hyperuricosis, brucellosis at least 700-1000 depending upon where you live. So now you have a baseline, could be more or less for a variety of factors. And you don't need to weary your little fingers doing a search |
I've just got to wonder how she/he knows they have a good quality breeding bitch. According to the profile, the pup is only 11 months old. Definitely not old enough to either breed or have Ch. No pics either. |
