OP has already said the rspca have told them the dogs have been adopted. Thank you. I missed that. You weren't the only one.

But I never said that what I said was twisted into it. I said people may want to adopt because if they dont that dog will die it was twisted to say if you buy a dog from a breeder a shelter dog dies I NEVER said that. See so there were no AR rubbish coming from any one until someone tool something and twisted it into AR rubbish. still trying to guilt people into buying a dog that may not be suitable for them No I dont tell people that lol I am saying SOME PEOPLE MAY WANT TO ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL are you guys really this thick or are you jsut trying to entertain yourself tonight by picking fights? Lots of people know that dogs in shelters dont find homes and get put to sleep so they choose to adopt how is that wrong? Just like lots of people want a papered purebred dog and buy from a breeder people will do what they want to do. Your not going to convince someone who wants a pedigreed dog to adopt no matter how much your pour on the guilt, just like some people hate breeders and wont ever buy a dog from one no matter how much you explain or educate about breeders. Everyone has a right to get their dogs from where they feel comfortable. funny how you adopt from a pound/shelter but buy from a breeder. It's one and the same thing, choosing a dog and paying for it.

I could understand if you had a bad reputation (google is wondrous!) and/or were not a current financial member of your dog controlling body of your state. Not saying any of those apply to you- sometimes breeders only can go by their 'gut' feelings- or all maybe good but the breeder is wanting to keep the pick bitch for themselves. In my last litter I wouldn't sell a bitch puppy to someone cause they already had a bitch(desexed). Fairly new dog owners but I did sell let them adopt a male. yep, can understand- bitches can certainly get nasty with each other- this wasn't just about the sex though- it was about also being on the main register I was talking about main register dogs. ah okay. I was lucky enough to have been introduced to pedigree dogs by my mother who taught me a lot that I might not have normally known. I always find it strange that main register entire dogs (and bitches) are offered to people who have no interest in showing or other ANKC events. To me it seems a bit of a waste or an excellent opportunity for the unscrupulous buyer - who can then advertise litters with a 'main pedigree parent'. I've seen enough of your posts though, to know you'd never sell knowingly to such a person. My point to Joany was that breeders may have very good reason- as you did. (: Thank you :) The dog was shown and titled by his new owner.

That's what I remember reading before the original post was edited. My take on it as well but was hoping they give the breeder a chance to step up.

Linkie?

yep fingers crossed.

really

well here's hoping the rescue keeps trying the breeder, you've only had him a few hours.

This is a bit of a snide remark and uncalled for. People are people and make mistakes.

you were crate training her outside the house?????????? hey MarieEvans are you ever going to reply to my question and others who were also concerned with what you were doing with your pup?

MarieEvans seems to just read the first post and tack her reply on the end. Does it all the time.

maybe only for point score comps.

No requirements, no contracts. Same as I have done for my 2 litters.

Strangely, quite a few novice dog owners manage to pull it off. I was one of them. me too :D

Good luck with it all. :) I have started semen window shopping and don't even own an entire bitch at the moment but that won't stop me. Don't let it stop you. If you have access to a nice bitch to use it on no reason why you can't just get the semen. Just make sure all arrangements are in writing.

Why do you think that pedigree dogs are not pets? My pedigree dogs are my pets first and foremost. I like knowing what I am getting.

I heard of this years and years ago for pigs but never thought of it for dogs, not that I have ever really need it but yes, next time I travel with the dogs I will be packing the raspberry cordial as well. :D

it's getting easier and easier :D

Plenty of greyhounds in pounds but I'd never bring one home. Not with the cat.

It has taken my boy over 12 months to pee on the tiny bit of grass out the front of my daughters townhouse. Usually it's a walk to the nearest park. Luckily my bitch is happy to pee on the concrete out the back or out the grass out the front. No way is the boy peeing out the back :D

also you could try getting lengths of wood, maybe 6 inches high and make a big box on top of the gravel, add soil and seeds and water, then you have a area of grass for your girl.

you can get different heights I believe. It can get hot in the sun.
