| Ah Gimme a break. I just got back from the Nationals and was around my Southern friends. It's amazing how quickly it comes back.

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.

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