personal references go a long way.. I ask for one from their vet - or
someone who knows them well enough to be able to tell you how they would be
with the dog.. I make sure they know up from what my expectations are if
they no longer can keep the dog, and that this puppy is a lifetime
commitment and giving it up means that a very good reason has come along..I
rely on gut instincts and encourage a few visits before they take the puppy
home.. most people who are looking for a possession that they won't put a
great deal of value in will reveal themselves - yes, there are those that
will squeak through, but if we are going to breed we will have to accept
that we can not control ever situation - and these are the situations the AR
people rely on for their propaganda to stop breeders..
Just as we don't want breed specific legislation but tougher penalties for
"bad dogs" (and their owners) we need tougher laws for people who abuse or
dump animals..
