Hey! I'm back and yes I was on vacation. Actually everything went really well. We asked the people taking care of Buddy (as the breeder does not look after the boarding dogs, other workers do) not to breed him and they didn't. After we came back we asked if he had been breeded and the one lady said "oh no, there would have to be lots of papers and things to go through". They obviously know what they are doing then, I think I underestimated them a bit. Buddy came back on Saturday, he's really happy to be home. I got him a welcome home toy and the workers advised not to leave him with a toy as the other dogs will probably play and chew it up. Buddy was sad to see us go , we were too ( sniff, sniff) but know he's just so happy to be home!! Thank you to everyone for posting, I really appreciate the help - you are all really kind and I don't know what Buddy and I would do without you. Also, she is a good breeder. There was one person that posted about that awful breeder- our breeder had done health checks on ALL her dogs, and they are healthy- no hip, eye or any kind of problems with any of her dogs that she's been breeding for the past 20 years. The living conditions fo the dogs are great, lots of room and they are out all day, kenneled at night. They are well fed, like the owner desires and all of her dogs are well treated. Yes, I was doubting her at the beginning but know I truly know she is a really good breeder and that Buddy was well taken care of there and NOT bred. Thanks to everyone, post still if you like. Buddy says hi and thank you to all of you and gives kisses. I appreciate all the help and am just glad that Buddy is back.
