| Re: How to tell when a breeder is lying or is of poor quality
I have to admit that I agree with Trish here also. Good breeders will receive enough inquiries/referrals that even if they have more puppies than expected, or an inbalance of one sex etc., the pups will be spoken for. I would be very wary of a breeder who planned a litter without having their homes lined up. Further, we as stud dog owners will not accept a bitch unless the breeder has potential homes fully interviewed and waiting. 8-9 weeks is not enough time to get to know a person well enough to be comfortable entrusting them with a puppy unless they come HIGHLY referred from a VERY trusted source. That fact that breeders bring puppies into this world and later try to locate homes is why there are so many poorly bred dogs in rescue, and so many well bred dogs who will never reach their full potential.
