Hi Kate, Funny you asked.............. A couple of weeks ago my Aunt tells me she is getting a Lab puppy, = already paid for it , she didn't tell anyone , so that we couldn't try and talk = her out of it. ( She has a lot of issues and shouldn't have a large dog) She = got it from a breeder on the internet from Texas......Parents have this and = that puppy has this and that...... Yada yada I told her to give me the breeders website , I would like to see it. She paid 1,300+ shipping. So she calls me with the info........The = 'breeders' website is Breeders Direct.com WHAT?????? So go on the site,which a will say is a very nice = website....... and just as I expect. Then we had the whole issue of AKC or ACA ( which = is a mill registry). Originally she was told AKC, then after she paid she got conformation with ACA registry on it. And now the dog was from = Nebraska?!?!? I called them for her and gave them a hard time, and left them = scrambling and she had the option of NOT taking the dog...but did anyway...... Sigh....felt is was just meant to be.=20 After all she was told he was raised in the house ( he is 4 months old), housebroken,and crate trained.......... Well after several calls to ME about housebreaking and crate training..........;0) She ended up calling Breeders Direct and told them = IF this dog was raised in the house , there house must be a real pit, they can't have anything on their counters and full of pee and poop! LOL Life time gurantee is plastered all over too. Which sounds great to = people. Boy they even will replaced a dog lost or stolen, BUT read the fine print........... You have to have receipts for all there food, vets, and proof that they where NOT spayed or nuetered.??? Sigh........... Linda DeLarso Narvon, Pa.
