I understand the frustration when conscientious breeders try to fit the right
pup with the right family; however, one of the problems that I hear about is
the same as the over-protective rehoming organizations. A person wants a pup,
and could possibly be a good owner, but gets turned off by the over zealous
breeder.
An example: When I was looking for a pug as a Boat Dog (miss you, Tarsea
DaPug), every breeder to whom we traveled had a laundry list of what was
expected. We ended up going to a home that had some cute Pug puppies and
bought one.
I think this happens more often than not. Sure we don't want our pups to end
up in the wrong home and end up being given up to the pound. But when we turn
away a prospective buyer who ~might~ be turned into a more caring owner that
he/she first present him/herself, are we contributing to those less than
conscientious breeders who has 9 pups in the shed, and just wants to get them
off the property?
Just asking
I ask to get opinion, not to force my opinion on others.
