I'm so mad...

I noticed something today. I will not name names, but I have now seen two different "breeders" throw out the attorney card when someone says something negative about one of their dogs.

I guess if they only allow positive reports about their dogs, then people will assume they only produce great dogs and have never had a cull....

I'd rather buy from a breeder that tells me about their screw ups along with their successes. Went and picked up a new cutting horse for Mandi last night. While signing contracts over dinner, we got on the subject of breeding. This person was talking about line breeding her Portugese water dogs, and she started telling me when she realized she had gone too far and needed some new blood. Said each dog was given to a pet home and no breeding rights. Sure felt good about her knowing that she recognized her mistakes and took measures to rectify it.
