is it alright to be scared

• huskymom Posted : 4/26/2006 5:19:20 PM My friend has a sign on her wall that says something like that.  They don't borrow the car.  They don't do drugs or drink... and if they get pregnant you can sell thier children.  It's kind of funny. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 4/26/2006 5:29:36 PM At the moment, I'm surrounded by german shepherds.  Sheba, as usual is laying in my chair, I've got several laying in FRONT of the couch and Tyler holding on to the PRIME real estate, up here on the couch with me, his head in my lap.....despite knowing that I'm gonna do my search and destroy mission on his blowing coat anytime I happen to spot  a clump ready to fall out.........you've just got to be touched by this kind of love.  They could be ANYWHERE in the house, or out in the yard, but they wanna be with mom............. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 4/26/2006 6:26:12 PM We are all hoping for your sake that your pup will be happy and healthy.   The ONLY time it bothers me is when I'm trying to move around and actually accomplish something.  If I'm sitting around on the puter or reading, then about the only place I'm gonna go is the bathroom or the coffee pot, and with ALL of them up here, I tend to get followed LESS than I would with just a couple.  They're really big enough NOT to step on, although I have tripped over them a time or two..... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• amstaffy Posted : 4/26/2006 8:06:30 PM I am not a breeder, but I am very impressed by the know how that Jaime and Glenda have, they are very good at what they do and I would trust them on this.   Thank you! I work very hard to educate people on not only my breeds but what to do to protect themselves from back yard breeders and puppy mills as well as finding the right breed for their lifestyle...it isn't always easy and it isn't always welcome. But it is definately worth it when I am thanked for efforts 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• spiritdogs Posted : 4/26/2006 9:49:47 PM I have to agree with Glenda and Jaime that this would not be a breeder that I would use.  It's very tough to be that disappointed, but, frankly, if she didn't take sufficient care with the dam, who's to say that she really knows what the heck she's doing when choosing a mate for her bitch?  This is a breed that can have lots of health problems, not just the ones that can be tested for.  So, if she is inexperienced, that may show in the results of her breedings.  While you may get a good pet, and have no problem, chances are also great that you might get a huge, not to mention expensive, headache.  JMHO 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mrv Posted : 4/27/2006 6:04:46 AM After purchasing a puppy from a reputable breeder and having to return that puppy due to health problems.  The breeder has been very stand up, lots of vet tests, money back etc.  I would not take the chance of that devastating heart break again.  It about killed me to give that little girl back.  Some puppies appear to bounce back after a shakey start (premature) and still things go bad.  I returned her at 5 months.  So the bond had been very well developed.  This puppy was euthanized and a necropsy done at UC Davis.  This breeder is SERIOUS about producing good puppies.  I would want the same from any breeder. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 4/27/2006 6:33:47 AM The heartbreak of loosing a pup is not something that I think folks can understand unless they've been there/done that.  Especially the young think that "it won't happen to me"....I remember being young...it stretched the memory greatly, but I do remember just KNOWING that stuff would never happen to me.   These pups had such a rough start in life and I'd be seriously concerned about future problems.  I'd rather forfeit the $150 than have a lifetime of medical bills that I could have avoided, but with age comes some sort of wisdom....maybe not much, but some.   I'm so sorry you had to return the pup.  I know that loosing Mr. Ears so suddenly, at 5 months, dang near ripped my heart right out of my chest.  And HE told me that he had to leave...we had a chance to say goodbye...but it still killed me.  I so hate the thought of a young person having to deal with that sort of pain. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• meilani Posted : 4/28/2006 11:16:27 PM Since when do Boxers cost $2000? I don't even think a show quality Boxer costs that much. I was friends with a guy whose mom shows and breeds Boxers. Last time I spoke with her, her pet quality Boxers were $600. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
