Everybody wants a great dog, but it sounds like you are making a purchase out of desperation, to prove something in the ring, and it takes a LOT more than desperation to do the right thing. While the pedigree might impress some people, I will tell you that knowledgable people will find your reasoning amusing. Desperation causes people to wrongly justify their actions...in my opinion. |
I couldn't agree more. One would have to question exactly WHY you are buying this puppy dipped in gold leaf. For the enjoyment of the dog? Doesn't sound like it. Sounds more like you're trying to buy a ticket to the "top". The "top" of what???? I certainly admire the Neubrands' dogs. They have done a lot for the breed, IMHO. But it sounds as though you're simply on a mission to ride coat tails here.
I certainly hope that your "investment" reaps rewards, but banking on making your money back, and assuming that people will even breed to your boy is a mighty lofty frame of mind to be in, and it's certainly the WRONG frame of mind to be in when one is a hobbyist. The more money that's at stake, the more people forget the REAL reason for being in the dog hobby.
What exactly is it that you are going to prove, toobad? That you have deep pockets? Whooppeee.
