I get training inquires all the time, as I am on the APDT web site. I always respond. Being as I have bred one litter, and as noted in my post I am keeping the whole litter it seems, I do not have dogs to sell. I am the contact for my club. I do respond to every single inquiry I get, imediatly too. I send them on to the 2 breeders in my club who most often have puppies. Lovely puppies too I must add. About 1/2 the dogs I train are pet store dogs, and I ALWAYS tell these people where their dogs came from. I ALWAYS tell them that while we have what we have and we love what we have, please don't ever even walk in there again! Most, if not all agree with me and promise to stay away from pet stores in the future. Most have some sad tale of how much they spent to buy and then how much the vet bills were to save what they bought from dire illness within the first week or two. Not that I am current on the news here, but if Hunte is a GSDCA member, I will quit. sheila Iza Kabuska <izakabuska@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I just tried to answer Sue Madlung's e-mail about people not responding to puppy inquiries, but got the post back because it had too many lines ( ! ) AND one of the individuals it was addressed to was returned "undeliverable" - In my previous post (that no one will see) I said that I always respond to inquiries (whether I have puppies or not), but because of spam blockers and whatever else people have on their e-mails, the people inquiring do not get my response. And we all know how weird AOL can be at times. It's often that simple.
