However...that elitist attitude is more prevalent in some breeds than
others, and in other breeds, anybody with money can buy a dog if they
can find one, without filling out a questionnaire, or signing their
lives away, but those puppies are few and far between.
I agree that the reasons you give are very common reasons, and I'd
be inclined to go elsewhere if someone handed me a multi page
questionnaire, too, so I can't blame them. In fact, I'd go elsewhere if
I were given a one page form to fill out!
There are breeds, however, where it has nearly ALWAYS been standard
that you go on a waiting list and wait, sometimes for well over a
year...Cavaliers are still one of those breeds, unless you want one from
any Tom, Dick or Harry. All the best breeders of Cavaliers either
maintain a wait list or will suss you out pretty thoroughly before
letting you have a puppy...even if it's on restricted papers! I
remember when Corgis were like that, too, but I don't think they are any
more. In any breed, there's always some one who will sell you something
cheap...
or even sell you something expensive, but who knows what you're getting?
