If I was the breeder I wld feel the same way but once some one makes a promise and takes the dog what can u do??? Good thing is the story had a good ending the dog is fine. Guess that ? was crazy and no one has seen or heard of that thanks anyway .Originally Posted by CA Jack
Exactly. And since I come from a breeder's perspective (which is the guy who invested years of his time into creating the great dogs that people like to f*** around with and waste their potential), it gets old having people promise you the world in order to get the dog, and then do everything but keep their promise ... all the while "justifying" the stupid shit they do to themselves (and to the breeder whose trust they violate). So you'll have to pardon my angry tone when I see the same $#!^ happening here.
What can I do? If it's happening to a dog of mine, I can call that person out in public as a dumbass when I see him, and that's about it.
The truth is, only rarely is a breeder surprised to find a newcomer who actually tries his best, who actually does what he says he's going to do, and who actually AVOIDS doing the stupid shit that you've described here in this post, and who instead really tries to conduct himself like a professional and do everything right instead of everything wrong.
As EWO said so eloquently, none of what you're doing is valuable to your bitch's development. None of it helps her ranking or reputation to anyone who matters. All of it is only a risk to her potential, in front of weekend warriors who don't matter, giving absolutely zero benefit to your bitch's name or record to anyone who's anyone in the sport of dogs.
Based on your story and your attitude, I would bet a million dollars to a penny that ultimately this bitch will not have "a good ending" ...

All of it just isn't professional. It is very amateurish. None of it makes sense. Either You are working with the dog, or against him. Whoever did this to that bitch isn't in I for the dogs, he's in it for himself, at the expense of the dog. If this person does this, he needs to get out of the dogs. It's really sad.
