I agree ! If these dogs are living in filth, cramped cages and are not being cared for properly someone needs to be informed and this person needs a visit by the proper authorities !! |

I completely understand why you want your AKC papers. When I rescued my Yorkie, he had been registered with the AKC but because his old owner would not surrender the papers. Because he had been in the animal shelter, the AKC wouldn't release the papers because he was no longer "pure bred material". As a law student and future attorney who wants to work in animal law, the AKC papers don't prove purchase of sale and they don't do much of anything unless you would like to show the dog or be recognized at your local AKC kennel. I know this will make several people mad, but the AKC doesn't even guarantee health of the dog and they honestly mean nothing but more $$$$. I can't even report the old owners of my dog to the AKC as people not to allow to buy breeds anymore even though they threw him out to the coyotes quite literally. |
Sorry I didn't read the above messages about the deplorable conditions. But unfortunately that is happening all around the country with puppy mills. AKC-registered breeders raising dogs in 'miserable' conditions - TODAY.com This really opened my eyes on what the AKC has become :( |
This is just another example of why it's so important to establish a good relationship with you breeder before committing to purchasing a puppy. Many are still out there who don't give a hoot about you or the puppy once they have your money, |

I know right! It makes me very very sad :( I believe all dog breeders should want to breed out of the goodness of their heart, to make the breed better, and make lifelong companions and best friends. Sounds like that lady in Colorado has lost the message. :( |

And if you are dealing with a breeder that is TRULY committed to her breed and her dogs, she will be establishing a relationship with YOU before she entrusts her dogs to you! If your breeder is not that attentive and inquisitive and concerned....run! Because, as some "breeders" see it, the "problem" with establishing a relationship with someone you sell a puppy to, is if that baby gets sick later down the line, these new owners are going to come looking for you to help them.....they certainly dont want to be setting themselves up for problems in the future....!!!! So be sweet, cordial, get that puppy sold, then get scarce..... |
It sounds like I am very lucky that I come out with a very good dog! I did not mention that after we had Tawny a short time we had to take her to the vet with a very very bad stomach ailment. At that time we had her completely tested and everything was okay. After this stomach problem was solved and $700, she is in excellent health. |
