| Re: How to tell when a breeder is lying or is of poor quality
I concur for I believe when you purchase from a pet store you could be making a horrible mistake! Only for the simple fact that most pet stores allow backyard breeders to sell their litters to them and then turn around and sell the litters to the buyers that thought since the puppy costs $2,000 ect.. that it must be a high quality puppy when in reality they probably could have bought that same pup for $400 from the backyard breeder but the backyard breeder only wants to get them sold and get the profit. This is only the tip of the iceberg for you are dealing with health issues, ect..for not being able to see what mom and dad look like...or what underlying health issues they had. This is just a generalization of what happens but I plead to those who perhaps considered purchasing from a BYB or Puppy Store..mall ect..to do your homework and it will definitely pay off for there are people out there that are not an enterprise that really love the breed and it will return 3x fold when you get your new puppy home and have established that relationship and sense of pride knowing you can always give your breeder a call and ask questions regarding your puppy's upbringing. :) |
