Boy that's a tough one. I'm on the other side of the fence where I don't have access to breeders and I have had to rely on contacts I found on the internet (I finally found a breeder at this forum). My husband and I are awesome dog people but I don't know how you could be sure of that just through phone/email conversations.

My new policy, If you won't let my dog kiss you on the lips then you can't have it.


Jeannie, I think that's perfect for finding a forever home for any new pup:thumbup:
It really is amazing how little people really know about puppyhood when searching for a puppy.
I read it here all the time. Oh he ate my carpet, peed
and pooped on the floor, dosent sit still so I can hold him. The best one is, why does my puppy bite my hands and toes all the time. Is he aggressive? You breeder's must see it all. You can't help feel sorry for
the pup's who go to such homes. I would guess these are the one's who
show up at rescues and ponds from time to time.
They should have a TV reality show doing this very thing. They trials
and tripulations of raising a puppy.
They have one being shown now regarding teenagers raising babies.
It certainly would save those from getting unwanted pups and the pups
from getting into unwanted homes.
I am so happy Blaze is still with you. Let's hope this young lady
changed her mind about a pup and got a stuffed pup instead.

for the ones that come to the house and don't want a puppy to kiss them and go "eww" , i just quietly take the puppy back from them and explain that my baby is not for them as i know that if they don't like puppy kisses then they are going to HATE puppy poo :rolleyes: and therefore don't need to be bothered with taking a baby just to hate it - :eek::eek: Believe me , I turn down a great many just based on that one thing and i have never been sorry . I only know of a very small number ( less than 5 ) puppies in this 24 years that have been rehomed or returned to me .So make rules that you can sort out the ones that have no business with a real live life, and loving trusting baby. I do and it works
so i say Bless you for taking what she called "it" away and keeping her . I definitely don't sell "it"s either :D
