Go Me Go Me!

Aw... congratulations Dakota.

 

[Manchesters]

Thank You, Yuck

The way it has been said is very blunt and to the point you may find this mean. I don't think Manchesters is suggesting that poor dog to you as an owner, but to the breeder as a breeder if the tests are not done. She is only trying to guide you to a healthy long living puppy. It is hard sometimes to hear things we don't want to and maybe this breeder is up on everything, wonderful. Just remember to ask lots of questions and it is not insulting to a breeder to be asked things it shows your love for the pup. Breeders like to know that responsible owners are buying their pups and by asking her questions you will show that. Of course I would not suggest accussing her of anything, no that would be mean and nasty, but ask a few questions. I know a golden retriever breeder here and she does those test and guarantees her pups, and you are a smart person so I am sure you will ask what you need to and will get a wonderful pup. Congradulations again.

And yup, ElinHunter is right-----I am this way with anyone I hear who is buying a pup. I just wonder why SHE and Buddatd did not make these same suggestions to you???? EVERYBODY knows that when dealing with Goldens hips and eyes are vitally important. Still on ignore, I just don't do kids well at all. Too dense for me. Note that there has been nothing said about checking that these tests have been done.

Oh well.....from now on anyone getting a dog from a byb is on their own as far as I am concerned. Not MY problem.

Thanks everyone after reading your posts I think I went over board some. I'll shake it off and just listen but please don't say I'll have a lame dog it makes me very upset. Thanks again. Hope I get a good puppy.

Sorry If I was mean in anyway...I know you where tryng to help and I strongly believe that Mrs.Cindy has done these tests, she has had very good freeback on owners who have gotten dogs from her. Please just don't say I'll have a lame dog...it makes me upset.

I hope you do, too. Congratulations on finally being able to add a Golden to your family!

Thanks Rip

I have to agree that if the parents don't have good OFA and CERF scores, you shouldn't get a puppy from Ms. Cindy. Health tests are important. Those tests are especially important when looking for a lab or golden from a breeder.

 

[Dakotah_2009]

Ok Gaddy..but she has never as far as i know has had a problem with her Goldens health or any pups that they have had

 

[gaddylovesdogs]

That's good, but I'd ask just to make sure. Congrats on your pup.

 

[Dakotah_2009]

Thanks Gaddy and I'll ask

 

[bubbatd]

I'm sure you'll find she's had all the tests ! Luckily you have time to check everything out ........

 

[Dakotah_2009]

Yea i hope so. we are going over there to their house Wednesday and we might be there awhile

We didn't post those sentiments simply because you already had. Not that we don't believe in them. But there's a certain "tone" your posts could make that would make them much more palatable to the receiver...

 

[Dakotah_2009]

Agree w/ Elin..srry

 

[Manchesters]

Comprende KMA?

Shake it off, Dakotah... MC's blood sugar is probably too low

She's like this with everybody at some point or another. You're ok...

Like what????????? I very politely asked about the tests. I got a response from a snotty brat.....SHE admits to being snotty--not me!

If this were a reputable breeder, there would be no questions to ask, because the BREEDER states right up front that the dogs have been tested, and are certified.

Just why doesn't this child know this stuff? You all have been mentoring her, and not doing a very good job it would seem. I am very tired of a few other people's snide snottiness myself. Especially when you come in AFTER THE FACT and try to act like you know something.

And NO, it is not my blood sugar.......just disgusted.

Yes i did say I was snotty, but not always, I'm actually very nice and sweet. But I said I was snotty because the 1st post you put, to me, it sounded mean. but I have no clue if that is what you where trying to make it seem as.
I think these people here at Chaz have been good to me, don't judge that yourself let me do the judging cause they aren't helping you. Sorry if not everyone meets your standards Manchester, but we are all different and we try with what we have. Now stop being mean to people. I think you have good advice but sometimes it might seem mean even though you don't mean it to seem that way.

 

[Manchesters]

Thank You

Dakotah, relax - Manchesters is trying to help, and I agree with her. She was not "mean" when first suggesting that you THINK about what you are doing. It would be wise to listen to her advice, doing so may save you a lot of heartbreak in the future. (I speak from experience - I have a dog that is the product of poor breeding, and on some days, he is miserable. It's horrible for an owner to watch their dog in pain.) Ripley's breeder said her dogs were healthy, and I believed her because I honestly didn't care about the health of the parents at the time! I cared about the cute little puppy in my lap.

Don't turn a blind eye to the quality of the breeder, just because you want a puppy now.

I might even be mistaken, perhaps the breeder HAS done the necessary health tests and just failed to mention them to you, but that seems highly unlikely to me. (Probably the first thing I'd mention would be the fact that the parents were healthy, but that's just me.) Ask her about it - better to be safe than sorry!

For trying to explain to this child what others don't seem to pick up on. And I was absolutely as circumlocutious as I could possibly be, rofl.!!

Read my original post again. Nothing at all mean. Simply asked about testing. Which, by the way YOU should have already asked about.

And if this person lets her puppies go at 8 weeks of age, that also sounds to me like BYB. You are getting stuck with having to pay for 2 shots that you should not have to pay for. A Golden puppy should not be placed until at least 10 weeks of age.

Oh.....and it is not MY standards......it is the standards set FOR and BY ETHICAL, RESPONSIBLE BREEDERS.

 

[ilovemydogs]

yeah my lab was taken away from its mom at like 6 weeks and it suckled while it was sleeping and was sad the first coulple of days.

 

[Dakotah_2009]

Manchester,
It just seemed to me that you where being mean. Sorry but Mrs.Cindy is NOT a byb! Lots of people let there pups go at 8 weeks. Sorry but not everyone is like you. I think u give good advice and I hate aguring, but we all different opinions right?
