i am sorry, but you are not ready to have a puppy.

i know i am not saying what you want to hear. but i hope you think about the issues i am bringing to your attention. it is important!

was there a reason you didn't read the bottom of the post about how my husband and i work opposite shifts so one of us is always home????!!!

and i have money for her vet bills due to her wellness plan, but making an unnessary trip to the bottom of the state is a stupid and completely unrational piece of advice for someone in my situation...you don't know me, you don't know my life, you know nothing about who i am, where i came from, what i believe, or what i do, so please don't think you know what's best for me and my family, you don't have near enough information about me or my life to give that type of opinion or advice, all you know is what you've read and what other people have said who also know absolutely nothing about me, you have all put words in my mouth and don't know the whole story or the way that things are....

please just give it a rest already, i can't ever seem to get advice on anything about my puppy without someone rehashing this OLD thing. Why can't you just let it go already? you've made your point, it's been well taken, i've made up my mind with the info i have been given and that's that. please know that the opinions of YT are a very very SMALL part of the total part of the information i am using to learn and make these choices. YT is great and wonderful, but so is the face to face information i'm recieving in my home environment from others who have also been in my shoes with GREAT and WONDERFUL experiences....

They might seem to think so, but they have never met my breeder, nor do they have any sort of factual information to prove that he's anything less than a nice old man who loves his dogs and breeds healthy happy puppies. Don't let them get to you, they will try and tell you i'm supporting a puppy mill, but i swear on my life that i'm doing the exact opposite of that and i'm going with a nice wonderful family breeder that takes pride in the care he gives to his dogs and puppies. If these people actually had met him in person and knew him at all i might actually listen to them, but they don't know anything about him other than misleading bits and pieces of info they have sewn together to form a nasty opinion based on nothing.

Just letting you know...you can read the other threads if you'd like, but just know I'm the only one WHO HAS ACTUALLY MET THE BREEDER.

Have a great day!! Hopefully you'll understand and join in on the well wishers side of this whole thing. I sure do need and appreciate that at this point.

Congratulations! Be sure to post lots of pictures when you get her home!

These are just a few quotes from the OP. People have repeatedly tried to give her some very excellent advice she refuses to listen to.


"We're getting her from her breeder at 6 weeks they think because she's already eating from mom's bowl."

"I found the breeder in the classifieds and she's APRI registered not AKC and these are most likely backyard breeders."

"MAJOR RED FLAG, they said they take the mom away at 6 weeks old!! I have just asked them why they would do something like that??"

"They probably are a backyard breeder, i'm ok with that part."

"They wean at 5.5 weeks by starting to take the mom away for 1/2 a day and feeding the pups crushed puppy food Diamond brand. If the pup takes to it, they will take the mom away at 6 weeks. If the pup takes to it, they will take the mom away at 6 weeks. They have kennels for the moms and when they are about 3 weeks away from having pups they move them to a birthing center set up in the garage and keep them nearby to birth babies, the pups grow some and are eventually moved as a family to an ex pen with rugs and beds and toys and potty pads and food until they begin to wean them. Mom goes back out to the kennels and the pups stay inside until they can be brought to their new owners."

She types this, then in the next breath types how wonderful they are?

Rachel, I am sooooo excited for you. Can't wait to see all the pictures and hear all the great stories you are going to have to tell. Hugs and kisses to you and Sadie from me and Samantha.

I think you have all made your point, now why don't you give Rachel a break and stop attacking her everytime she posts something .

Best of luck on Friday Rachel, we are dying to see your pics.

"We're getting her from her breeder at 6 weeks they think because she's already eating from mom's bowl." well guess what, she's over 6 weeks old now and still with her mommy every day so i was wrong here

"I found the breeder in the classifieds and she's APRI registered not AKC and these are most likely backyard breeders." they probably are considered that by those of you that don't think family raised puppies are good enough for us simple folk who only want pets not show dogs.

"MAJOR RED FLAG, they said they take the mom away at 6 weeks old!! I have just asked them why they would do something like that??"they didn't do this with her, so i'm not that worried about it, plus they've had NO problems with puppies using this method and they only take the mom out if the pups are doing well and eating completely on their own, it's a case to case basis and the mom is still out playing with her pups in the yard most of the time, in fact as far as i know they haven't removed Sadie's mom from her playtime, just away from her feeding time.

"They probably are a backyard breeder, i'm ok with that part."i will stand by this one, i am ok that they are not AKC and that they are not selling puppies for over 1000 dollars, that type of breeder is just unreasonable and ridiculous to expect a person who simply wants a pet to pay that kind of money for a DOG!! We didn't pay that much for our wedding rings people and this is a dog, a family pet, shouldn't cost anything to have a puppy IMO, it should be something you can get at anytime for free because someone has a litter and wants to share the joy around to nice families, i can't believe that some people charge those ridiculous prices and make all that money off of poor families who just wanted a family pet, it's sick!!

"They wean at 5.5 weeks by starting to take the mom away for 1/2 a day and feeding the pups crushed puppy food Diamond brand. If the pup takes to it, they will take the mom away at 6 weeks. If the pup takes to it, they will take the mom away at 6 weeks.

Mom goes back out to the kennels and the pups stay inside until they can be brought to their new owners." all the vets and people i've talked to around here say that's a very COMMON and reasonable practice sorry we're from Missouri and we are quite simple in nature and don't have these giant diamond studded facilities like some of you think we should

She types this, then in the next breath types how wonderful they are?

Everything you have quoted me at saying was before actually meeting these people and getting to know them, their references, and their personalities and even some of their puppies. i was a little concerned due to the overwhelmingly hateful and scary ways in which people on YT attacked my threads, but i am 100% confident in my breeder having met him, and i am no longer confident in about 95% of Ytalkers due to the harsh way in which they relay their advice and opinions. if you had been kinder and had better reasons or facts, i might have been more swayed, but i'm looking at ALL the information i have here and if you knew me at all you would see that i'm the one making this choice and i've made the best darn choice for me and my situation that i could have possibly made!!!

Rachel - my advice to you would be to just ignore the people who won't let it go. When people are bullying you, they get enjoyment out of seeing you react. If you don't react, they'll most likely quit. Obviously they have nothing better to do with their lives than harp over and over to someone who has already made up her mind!

I'm happy for you and can't wait till you get your baby in your arms!

Thanks, i'll take that advice!! I'm going to be in meetings all afternoon anyways, so these haters can just yell at each other while i'm gone... heehee

[chachi]

I wish you the best with the pup. I dont think however you should tell people you got your pup from a wonderful breeder. You are getting one from a byb. That is your choice and I got omine from one also because I was more worried about price than quality. But I tell people I got mine from a byb. People can learn from that also

[Mommy2Lacey]

WOW! Just wow!
This was a first for me....

Congrats on your new puppy!

[bailie]

let's see, can i say a wonderful byb, or how about wonderful hobby breeder, or better yet, fantastic, super nice, great person, moral character, stands by his puppies, takes care of them, has a clean and home raised environment, caring, loving, wonderful breeder from the boot hills of Missouri, where we live a simple, care free, no fuss lifestyle without all the hoop and hollar of fancy things, and over the top practices and attitudes

i'm a simple woman, from a simple state,
we have white picket fences, and white picket gates,
we get our food from gardens and not a grocery store,
we're looking for a good time, and not a whole lot more,
we don't understand the riches that this world is wrapped around,
we just go to church on Sunday and we love all whole darn town

There's just something bout a simple place to be
makes everyone feel right at home you see
i don't worry about the little things that other people do
and i trust my neighbor's word, under the red, white, and blue


There little song from a local singer/songwriter who's grown up in a little place in Missouri her entire life and can tell the difference between someone she trusts and someone pulling the shade over her eyes. I've been around and i'm not so naive as you all might think
