Slightly off topic but relating to the KCRe: BBC on Purebred dogs
FF, this is the very type of breeder that I am talking about. When I see that someone is breeding several litters a year and seems to have puppies all the time it sends up a red flag to me and If I were a prospective buyer I would definately be cautious of those puppies. There is no reason for a puppy to be delivered with the infections that your puppy had. Usually when this happens its becuase the breeder has not spent a dime to make sure his puppies are healthy. When I have the occassional litter my vet sets up a time frame for visits from the time they are born so they can be monitored for any type of infection and when they are delivered they are guaranteed to be free of any infections. In my contract I expect the client to take the puppy to thier personal vet within a week of taking posession and a letter sent back to me to verify this. You can read the guarantee on my web site if you like. http://cassiopeiabouviers.com A responsible breeder will do everything in thier power to ensure their puppies are healthy. I know I do.Re: BBC on Purebred dogs

Re: BBC on Purebred dogs
I just got off a site called Classified Alaska. I was totally shocked at what I saw under dogs for sale. People are taking dogs of different breeds such as retiievers and poodles, calling them GoldenPoos and selling them for as much as I do a pure bred Bouvier. Now I do not fault someone trying to make a living but to say that mixed breed dogs are healthier then purebreds is totally insane. If the dogs that breeds have a defect such as bad hips or elbows and mates to another dog with other faults the genetics are passed on no matter how you cut the cake. The movement I see that is so against breeders is purely a money making scheme by those who profit the most and that is not the Kennel Clubs or the small breeders. Its the SPCA and HSUS. The shelters are not being filled by purbred dogs but by the mixed breeds that people get and do not take care of. The dogs that are allowed to run wild with little or no training. So instead of going after the real problem the SPCA and HSUS have made it a priority to promote mixed breed dogs to empty shelters which in turn as turned into a cottage industry for unscrupulous breeders and designer dogs. And to be perfectly frank, designer dogs are nothing more then mongrels with a name attached. Sorry for the rant but it really torks me when I see so much negativity towards the people that really try to do the right things with thier breeds and get torn apart by the ones who are only in it for the dollar.Re: BBC on Purebred dogs
