Anyone Have a Bad Breeder Experience to Share?
Question by Rachal961: Anyone have a bad breeder experience to share?
Maybe a few people will be enlightened if we share our personal experiences….here is mine. 2 years ago, my mother in law got a shihtzu puppy as a “something to look forward to when she got out of cardiac rehab” Suffice it to say, she spent the next 14 months in and out of the hospital then passed away, so I had this dog from the time he was 10 weeks old….his parentage is unknown to me, no papers, etc. I am no expert, but I have had dogs of every size and configuration for many many moons- Let me tell you about Porkchop- the worlds most awful dog- He has been lovingly cared for, housebroke easily, etc. He has the worst skin problems ever, he virtually lives on Benedryl or he will scratch himself till he bleeds, we have to keep him trimmed down to 1/2″ of hair or less or he will also get hot spots, he lives inside, eats only Canidae, has all his shots, etc. He has the worst tempermant of any dog I have ever encountered- growls at everything, snaps at you without provocation, etc
Continued- he refuses to go outside voluntarily, and will go to the bathroom on the patio if you do not take him out to the grass….one of his litter mates had cherry eye and a herniated umbilical cord both of which had to be surgically repaired before she was 6 months old. These are the fine examples of the breed you get when purchasing a puppy from someone who has no idea what they are doing and thinks that just because she has 2 dogs that look alike, they should be producing more…..
yes he was cheap she paid $ 100 for him, I know this is not the way to get a dog, just hoping that maybe personal experiences being shared will help illuminate that fact, so maybe, just maybe, we won’t see so many “Where can I buy a cheap whatever?” questions posted here…..yes, I am hopelessly optimistic!

If so many dog owner wannabes weren’t such lazy, penny pinching, illiterate morons, there would be no room for bad breeders to do their business.
