Opinions on this breeder?

[Flatcoatluver]

what im asking is-
why does the dog *have* to be a chinese crested? sure- theyre sweet little things. incredibly cute. but is it not possible that she could love a dog that *wasnt* pedigree?

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. You trying so hard to bash Alicia, but your forgetting about others on pt who have purebreds. As a communtiy we love dogs, purebreds or not. There are traits in purebreds that a lot of people love. For example now that I have owned a sheltie, I can never see my self owning any other dog, blame me for wanting a purebred from a responsible breeder.

look- im not saying theres anything wrong with purebreds. I have a purebreed Husky and a purebreed british short hair- but i didnt buy them.

i do understand what a heart murmur is. i do understand that it cant be just fixed. but what i dont understand is why shes so hell bent on getting a dog from a breeder. i have nothing wrong with responsible owners, breeders, etc. but its the life their looking after that bothers me. alicia has not been exactly responsible with those lives.

Ducky had crystals and I paid and got that cleared. He went to the vet right away. Milo had a skin problem I took him to the vet and he got antibiotics that again I paid for. It's not a case of the cat just being sick and not wanting to pay for it and that's what you don't get. Until you understand the problem don't bash me.

i find it just a little bit odd that these two pure breed sphynx kitties got vet treatment, yet you didnt even try to help Ivy.
can you justify that 'coincidence'?

My two cats have had problems I'm sure you have come across during your creepy search on me.

Sorry, I am trying not to get into this, but I was just wondering why the 'search' is creepy? I think -pickle- just wants to get her facts right, so she has been searching previous threads.

Not ganging up or anything etc.

Wow honestly when you think it can't get any worse Ivy WAS a purebred Sphynx!

You don't think it's weird in any way that she starting doing "homework" as she reffered it to on me? She looked back on my post and then decided to come to one of my threads and attack me.

Your being kind of a hypocrit saying you have a problem with breeders in one post and then saying you don't in the next. If your so worried about me not being responsible then why are you suggesting a shelter dog? It's still a dog, still life to look after, still has the same requirments as a well bred dog.

oops. sorry. i overlooked something. give me 40 lashes with a 9 tails whip.
i decided to come onto your thread and ask the dreaded fate of this poor dog. still havent recieved an answer.

This is getting really silly..

All my dogs are purebreds. One from a BYB (should have known better, but didn't unfortunately), a shelter dog, and one from a fantastic breeder. I went out seeking a specific breed each time, because I love those breeds. There's nothing wrong with someone wanting a purebred -- it's how they find it that is important. Alicia is doing the right thing trying to weed out the bad breeders from the good.

With that said, judging solely on that breeder's website and from what you've told us, I would keep looking. If you dig deep enough, every dog will come from "Champion bloodlines". Now, if she mentioned multiple BIS and BISS dogs, maybe some obedience titles, CGN/CGC, and such in the immediate pedigree, that might impress me a little bit more.

I should also point out there's nothing wrong with shipping puppies (although I also would be concerned if they did it too young). If you choose to go to a breeder, you should be looking for the best breeder you can find. The chances of having that "best breeder" close to you, isn't very good. Keeva's breeder was the best one I found after a YEAR of searching. I had to fly her in from California but she is an outstanding example of her breed.

Obviously nothing is going to happen to it..

well, you did a real good job of looking after Ivy didnt you? do you even care about where he is now?
if we had no breeders we would have no dogs. but the western worlds shelters are already overpopulated.
your the hipocritE, by telling everyone that they should go to shelters, and then buying a dog.
again ive said it.
justify yourself. you have alot to explain.

"Dreaded" fate of what dog? She is only doing research on breeders at this time, she is not going to jump up and get a puppy today. You mentioned earlier, "what if she recieved a puppy with problems, would she give up on it too?"..again, you are missing the point. This is not going to happen if she does her research and buys from a responsible breeder..which she is.

nothing is going to happen to it if it doesnt get into your hands that is.

[[if you say i'll be banned. go ahead. say it. im not bothered]]

even if the dog got a clean bill of health, theres no denying that it could develop an illness. then what would happen to it.


edit: lovely post logan.

[buttercup132]

do you even care about where he is now?

Even though it's not my responsibility yes I do and without the help of his original owner I tracked the person down on facebook and now talk to her.

your the hipocritE, by telling everyone that they should go to shelters, and then buying a dog.
again ive said it.

I don't tell everyone to go to shelters, again upon your searches you should know this.

even if the dog got a clean bill of health, theres no denying that it could develop an illness. then what would happen to it.

Again during your many searches (and my already reply) you should have seen that my cats have both had illnesses come up and they have been treated.

Do you not realise how stupid you sound right now? Honeslty your clearly trying to provoke me and get a reaction out of me and everyone is seeing it and obviously they also find it pretty rediculous.

[-Pickle-]

oh im not provoking you. you dont even have to answer me. but you do.
if logic= stupid now then order of the universe has been inverted and that means you must be incredibly smart, all hail buttercup the new steven hawking.
my watch isnt ticking anticlockwise. so clearly that hasnt happened. and obviously not everyone agrees with your opinion.

[Danegirl2208]

I am still baffled at how off topic this thread has gone..if you don't like buttercup or her decisions, Pickle.. why not just move on?..at this point all you are doing is bickering and trying to get a rise out of her, very immature on your part and I highly doubt very many people are taking you seriously....the point of this thread was not to bring up past events. Move on...
