When i began my quest to find the right puppy i found that more than half of the registered breeders i dealt with were money hungry rogues that raised the dogs in appalling conditions. They were imotionless and money hungry, i visited several backyard breeders also, all of whom raised the puppies in a loving family environment (i understand this is not always the case)
I ended up getting a puppy from a registered and ethical breeder with an excellent reputation. I met the owner of the bitch and got to spend time with the bitch prior to the arrival of the litter. I saw that she was homed in a loving caring environment which is a hell of a lot more than i can say for MANY of the registered yet unethical breeders/farmers/profiteers that i dealt with in my search. Having researched the breed i was interested in i found that i felt more comfortable with a health tested dog specific to the conditions of the breed.
This is something the Kazzie may wish to take into account if there will be a future litter from her dogs as it gives peace of mind to the families the dogs are going to and also gives you a clear conscience knowing possible conditions experienced by the breed do not exist within your litter.
I guess what i make of this thread is that the OP went in a little blind but quite clearly had no ill intentions. It appears to me that she would have been open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism if she had not been shut down so rudely which may have resulted in an educational experience to allow her to do it correctly in the future if she sees fit.
Although most are looking out for the breed standard there is such a thing as overkill. Rather than blasting prospective breeders into the weeds try a more proactive approach. Having a go for posting in the wrong section of a forum is lso rediculous, its a discussion forum we are not exactly rewriting the bible.
Have fun with your puppies kazzie and be sure to take the constructive criticism onboard for any future breeding as to do it correctly. Leave the cynical gibberish by the wayside.
