All the above as well as someone that doesn't think there job is over when the pups have left at 8 weeks old!!

I have 2 dogs, same breed, different breeders. Our first's breeder ticked all of the boxes but hasn't given a sh!t since. I have emailed pictures and updates but with the dissinterested replies I get, literally one word replies I have given up on them now even though I would love to know how his litter mates are getting on.

Our first breeder actually had a litter of pups when we were looking for our second pup and I didn't even entertain the idea of going back.

Our second breeders, both the sire & dam's owners have both been fantastic both whilst mum was pregnant, after pups were born and still now. We keep in regular contact and no question I have is too silly. I know we will stay in contact throughout the life of our pup. We have even taken our pup out on a couple of occassions with her mum or dad and 2 of her brothers which I think is great.

I have 2 fantastic dogs, but unfortunately they don't both come from fantastic breeders
