| ....Another One Bites The Dust.... Ok, well, for those of you following my other thread, you know about how I had put another pup on deposit only to have it sold to someone offering almost double. Anyway, a lady on here had seen my thread, and offered to let me see one of her pups. She made it sound like she only had 1 litter and that she showed dogs regularly. So, I got all excited that maybe I would find a mentor as well as a puppy... BIG MISTAKE.... I just got back from her house, and let me say, I have been in barns that smelled better. She opened the door with 2 of the cutest puppies I have ever seen, but when I walked inside, I was greeted with no less than 13 dogs! And, whats worse, is you could hear MANY more barking from the back of the house. She said that she had "rescued" them all from a Kennel that had been shut down, only to follow up with she was planning on breeding a few of them. She said that her dog was a Champion, but his topline was off, his ears and snout too long... I just... I dunno, is it ALWAYS this frustrating to buy a dog? I dont want to buy a dog from a BYB which is what she so obviously is (and if you are reading Lucy, this you should be ASHAMED!) but I really want a puppy.... any suggestions?? |

| I am sorry this process is so frustrating! But kudos to you for recognizing this breeder was not a good one and not just taking home the cute puppy because you wanted one so bad! I am sure the good breeders here will be able to point you in the right direction. Good Luck in your search. |

| well I would say keep up the patience and hopefully a positive result will come your way. You're doing the right thing as a lot of people are tempted just to take the pups from BYB feeling they have rescued them. |

I know you feel frustrated, but you will be so much better off finding a pup from a breeder you trust and can believe is ethical. | |

This was a member of YT who you were dealing with? It's such a shame to hear things like this yet again. I'm so very sorry but reputable breeders do not "rescue" and use those dogs to breed. This just makes me so sick. Did you hook up with this woman in a PM? There seems to be a lot of that type of behind the scene sales going on and with things like Google more and more shady people are finding their way onto the forum.

Have faith, with time that you will meet the right breeder and a good pup will be in your arms. Does Utah have some conformation shows near to you? You could meet some breeders at shows.

| Who is this breeder? It needs to be known that just bc you are a breeder on YT does not make you a good one. Esp the ones who going behind the scenes and PM.

So sorry this is happening to you again. Take your time and you WILL find a reputable breeder. Just because someone is a YT member doesn't make them a reputable breeder. Unfortunately, YT has some less than stellar breeders who lurk in the shadows and only post when they have pups to sell or send pm's to people to avoid having their breeding practices out in the open. As you have learned the hard way, be leery of someone who offers you a pup. You might want to drop a note to admin to let them know about this person. Kudos to you for sticking to your guns and not doing business with someone who's breeding ethics leave a lot to be desired.

| its just very disheartening... I really want a puppy, and hearing all the stories about your little ones' crazy antics only make me want to get one more! lol... yes, it was hard to walk away, because she offered them to me for very cheap, but even that seemed off to me because I really wanted to know why she would let "Champion" sired pups go for $500... I just dont get it... ...And, I see now that she just joined this month... lucysfurbabuies. |

| Very true. Kuddos to you OP for doing the right thing and walking away. Patience will bring you the perfect pup and breeder.

| How Dare You! I welcomed you into my home, offered you a GREAT deal on one of my babies, and THIS is how you repay me? Its not me who should be ashamed but YOU! Yes, I have alot of dogs here, because I RESCUED them from a closed kennel. And, why shouldnt I breed some of them?? They are beautiful and will make great puppies. Plus, they LIKE to breed. Anyone in the Show world will tell you that! I am glad you didnt take one of my puppies... You dont deserve one! |
