NOT necessarily. How do we help these good folks find us and our puppies?
By being involved with regional GSDC clubs, local AB clubs, state
federations where applicable, by sending well socialized, clean and manicured
puppies
home with companion people whose vets literally snatch your business card from
the puppy packet/health records the owners are directed to bring along for
their post purchase exam, by signing the PC breeders' code, listing litters on
the PC web site, regional club web site AND AKC web site, by getting adult
dogs out and about to breed and performance competitions and letting JQ public
get their hands on them and enjoy them, by KNOWING and FOLLOWING the
requirements for selling a puppy in your location and being able to say, quite
honestly that you comply with all laws and regulations, by speaking at Humane
Societies and SPCAs with a fine example of the breed by your side, never
saying
"no" when a demo dog is needed for such groups or pre- or grade schools, etc.,
etc., etc.
It's easy.
Actually, the lesson learned from your first experience buying a GSD could
be applied to anything. How many marketing pieces or advertisements touch you
daily? All of those Oriental Rug places that say they are going out of
business really aren't you know <G>. We learn "buyer beware" from an early
age.
It escapes me why these lessons all go out the window when dealing with the
emotional purchase of a puppy, just when we may need those lessons most.
After all, what affects a person more, paying too much for a good or service,
buying a product that isn't all it was supposed to be or falling in love with
a
puppy that was misrepresented? And sadly, it isn't just happening with dogs
found in the newspaper or bred by BYBs.
But, do all the things I mentioned above, even half of them and you'll have
more phone calls than puppies.
