I think I am as good as anybody at evaluating puppies but a puppy is a promise, no more, no less. My policy is that all puppies who leave at the 8-9 week point are sold at a companion price. I can say "this is a promising puppy" but I can't guarantee all of the pieces of the puzzle that make a dog a SHOW DOG will fall into place. In fact, I hate being asked to sell a puppy for show because so many things can go wrong and the very few times I have done it, I have had assurances that the dog would be a forever member of the family, no matter if they were a superstar or not. I'm more concerned about forever homes and worried about what happens to all of the "not exactlys". Anyway...that's just how I do things after finding myself many years ago in the exact same place you are today. If you want a show dog, best to buy one old enough where you can prelim, ears are perfect, but is perfect, head is screwed on straight and you can see them move. OR, do what I did several months back. I bought an exciting show prospect but there are no guarantees. Maybe she'll work out (I think so), but maybe not too and since I took her at 9 weeks I didn't ask for nor did I expect promises.

The puppy was two when he had to be put down. I have tried for 5 years to get this dog replaced and am now blocked from this person.....it has been suggested to take them to small claims court but i would like to avoid that if possible. At this point i just want my money back...I am and have been very willing to work with person..but enough is enough, any suggestions..message me privately ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
