When you breed and sell puppies your agreeing to make sure that puppy is ok for the rest of their life it is an unwritten code of ethic ( you can take them back, try to find a new home or willing to help anyway to make sure that dog stays safe. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>. I wish someone would have told a top breeder/judge this 2 1/2 years ago when they where contacted about one of THEIR dogs being in a shelter going to be put down....Their reply was, "I'm on my way to Florida and can't do anything about this" unreal huh? The dog had a HAPPY ending, I took her in and she is doing great even though she is blind. Oh, she just had her ELEVENTH birthday too! How do I know, her AKC papers came with her when she was turned into the shelter. It is sad the way some people pretend to love our breed.... ~Vicki Von Charisma German Shepherds www.voncharismags.com My sunshine does not come from the skies, It comes from the love in my dogs eyes. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
