So - even with breeders who are breed club members and KC Accredited Breeders, you still have to be extremely careful as membership of these schemes is no guarantee that the breeders will be ethical and their pups high quality.
The sad fact is that bad breeders outnumber good ones by a significant margin and that buying a puppy - especially for the first time - is a minefield.  mad: |
So very true
its wrong that people abuse their status,sugar coat it and then the others that are doing the same thing,back them up!!
So many people dont bother to research their chosen breed,they assume its just a dog
they go buy a cute little pup ,think that a quick walk once a week will do, then wonder why it tears the house to bits
Some of the Rescue places ive been to dont seem to have a clue either
Friend i met through Rescue had a male Stafford.They went to get another Rescue dog and was offered another male Stafford
eek:
They took him home and tried their best to settle them but had to take him back after two days as he kept attacking their other one......Well said rescue told them to
let them sort it out themseves!!!!!mad:
Needs to be tighter regulations on breeding and selling.
