*Sorry, climbing off my soap box now*[/QUOT
Not at all!
I knew there were several doggy minded people on here which is why I asked...I had a very brief toe dip in a couple of doggy forums and got scared away quite quickly!
The way you put it actually makes sense...I've often found SOME Pedigree Breeders quite up their own bottoms...accusing hybrid breeders of only being in it to make a buck or two...but then charge often close to or over a thousand for their ownI guess there's good and bad on both sides.
The puppy we're thinking of getting is £250...yes more than I'd have expected to pay for a cross but my guess is that once you take into account both the time and expenses the breeder must have put into letting her dog have a litter it's hardly easy money making?
Sorry it's all questions worry questions...I just know this is something major and I don't want to cock it up by not taking precautions I should...but I know also I've got to try and be rational about it and accept that whatever checks have or haven't been we could end up with a perfect healthy pup or we might not.
I suppose the dog trade isn't so different to many others...there's been a few unfortunate bad breeders/puppy farms but they're probably few and far between and I'm assuming the worst in all.(and no matter how few and far between just one is one too many)
Glutton...sorry you're dogless.How much longer are you having to take it easy for?...maybe your friend could hold onto it for you?
Hope you're well soon.xxx
