How can I save cost? (Rescued Pups)

Breeder Talk
  • Thank you pat I think that is more elegently and simply put than I would ever have managed. :)

  • I think it is unrealistic that every person who comes here will have warm fuzzies when they start asking questions they don't really want the real answers to, just a reassurance they are doing the right thing.

    I applaud those who tell them to rethink their decision. There are too many animals in shelters for us all to go along with it. I don't think anything was negative. Just direct and to the point.

  • Well put, Dash. I don't think the issue was so much the language or tone in which the responses were delivered but more that they were not what webedoggies wanted to hear. And as a result webedoggies was instantly unwilling to consider advice coming from people highly qualified to give it. All we can hope for now is that he/she thinks twice.

    @donc - Not true that breeders traditionally breed for conformation only. Breeders (responsible breeders) breed for health, temperament and conformation. Health/temperament is at the top of the list. Breeders do of course look for certain conformation but that does not exclude Health & Temperament.

    I have learned far too much about this industry and know that because a dog is registered AKC doesn't mean that the pup is well bred and even from humane conditions. I sent the AKC an e-mail after learning a great deal about the puppy mill industry and they have not responded. If you wish to really know more you can look for the National Mill Dog Rescue and check out the ASPCA. The national government won't pass FDA legislation to protect animals from unhealthy to down right cruel conditions. I always encourage everyone I know that if they wish to get a pure bred dog to find a rescue or meet the breeder and see the conditions the puppies are from. The AKC gets millions of dollars every year from people "registering" litters online. Anyone can register if they want to fill out the paper work.
  • I can't believe this just happened!!!

    With the bad economy, more BYB and commercial breeders are being stuck with older pups. I do not believe all of his relatives would want pups. I assume the majority of them would wind up at shelters as I am sure he would not take them back and take care of them. What an idiot! Does anyone know where he obtained his female or the pedigree-would like to know if she has Fanconi in her background-since he probably has not tested her? Jennifer

    The pups really love that ramp. I put a cat sized tunnel in there with them but instead of going through it they played "king of the mountain" and all jumped on top of it lol. These are the bounciest puppies. They are like little kangaroos hopping all the time. It's cute until you are sitting on the floor with them and one of them tries to pierce your nose. Ouch!
