Follow up to "What have I bought??" - Page 2

I did admit that I had made mistakes with the first post in July. I am not blaming others for my mistakes, only their mistakes. But I thank you for your feedback nonetheless.

She is doing fine, J F U , thank you for inquiring. She is adjusting to her new home and she is a loved member of our family. She gets the attention and care she deserves I can tell you that. Daily grooming and playtime, and also quiet time, sometimes she sits in with the kids during reading. Her ear is doing a little better, I will post updates as they are available. Thank you for your kind response.

In addition to that website www.mycountrynaturals.com/gsdpup.html You can also see her dogs here. http://www.countrypetpatch.com/Home.html and here http://www.gsdclassified.com/ I know someone who also was not allowed to go to the house but was met at the end of the drive, down at the road... hmmmm... interesting.

"Follow up to what I have bought" Everyday there is some bashing going on here. Can’t get a decent thread that is informative and worthwhile. I was pleasantly surprised to read the thread about the loss of a dog, and everyone treated each other with respect, how refreshing. Perhaps this tool is not lost. But I think almost all of these problems would be solved if people actually went and saw the dogs prior to purchasing them. For example all of the dogs that I bought that are mine, I got on a plane flew to Germany, visited with friends, spent real time with the dogs, and other dogs for the sake of learning more. I fear the person very much who has nothing more to learn I don’t think everyone will invest the time and money that I do, but if you do enough research you should be able to find somewhere you are willing to visit. I happen to know several people personally and could name a bunch more who really take the time to breed good dogs. You are going to live with this animal for at least a decade in your home, so more time should be taken in the acquisition. I also think that this problem makes a lot of sense. Someone has a picture painted in their mind on what they think is coming in the crate. Without seeing the dog, how do you really expect the picture to be accurate? Just because a dog is titled doesn’t mean it will be a good house dog and listen, although it might do well on the field. My point is just if you go and see the dog, you are less likely to be surprised or upset because you know what to expect.

This is a he said she said situation. I just wonder how many breeders have had perfect transactions every time. I know you can't keep everyone happy. My guy is perfect IMO, but he does have issues. Are the issues from the line breeding and did the breeder know this when I got him... Should I be blameing the breeder??? I really don't know. Christina, I understand you want to get into breeding and that is why you bought her, can you say for sure in 5 years or 10 years you will have made every customer 100% happy? Would you want someone to"air" your laundry on this site. Are you happy with the dog now? Thats what is important.
