Yes, it is a judgmental statement, but not intended to write off
people who are not as knowledgable as I am. Probably many GSD
buyers out there are far more knowledgable than I'll ever be.
My point was that instead of following through with a serious,
conscientious Breeder, it appeared to me that the Buyers rushed into
the purchase without really looking at it. I don't know if that was
the case, but the way Dawnmarie's post read, that was the impression
I got. If proper Homework wasn't done on both sides of the
transaction, the Puppy may well wind up paying for it. Will the
Breeders they bought from do the follow-up and give the support that
the Puppy and Owners need? I don't know. For the Puppy's sake, I
hope so.
Your point about Education is well taken. As a relative newcomer to
the Breed, I believe than my Education has to continue every day, and
that one of my jobs is to pass on what I know to our Buyers,
especially First-Time GSD Buyers and those who would buy from BYBs
and Pet Stores....
