> I suggest you get info on the people first before you ACCUSE them of being bad breeders. Breeders can't predict what the dogs look like, and just because they parents have show quality features does not mean that the pups are going to be show dogs. I hate the fact that people forget what it means to have a dog: it is a special bond where both parties contribute unconditional love and affection. Who cares if someone docks a tail? Who cares if the dogs markings aren't perfect? And who cares if the dog doesn't have show quality attributes? Obviously, we all know the answer to that: people who are in it for the prizes, the money, and the attention. People who truly love their dogs (whether it be a show or pet quality dog) will love a dog unconditionally. So, whoever you are that posted this message, I can tell that you are not one of those people! I feel sad for the dogs you own or have come in contact with.
HELLO,
PLEASE DO NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THESE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE THE BOSTON POLICE. IT IS TRUE THAT THE BOSTON BREED DOG SHOULD NOT HAVE THEIR TAILS DOCKED BUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO LEARN. SHE CERTAINLY DID NOT NEED TO ACCUSE YOU OF BEING A PUPPY MILL. THIS MESSAGE BOARD IS FOR ALL TYPES OF BOSTON TERRIERS. SHOW QUALITY AND PET QUALITY.
MOST PEOPLE WANT A GOOD DOG THAT IS HEALTHY, REGISTERED WITH AKC AND HAVE A GOOD HEALTHY BACKGROUND. HOWEVER, AS YOU SAY, YOU CAN'T PROMISE OR GUARENTEE THE HEALTH PAST THE TIME THE PUPPIES ARE PLACED. EVEN SHOW QUALITY DOGS COULD HAVE PROBLEMS. MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING DO NOT WANT A SHOW QUALITY DOG. THE EXPENCE IS A LOT MORE. MOST PEOPLE ARE WANTING A PET AS YOU SAY. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH OFFERING DEPOSITS EITHER. IF YOU HAVE SHOWN THE PUPS TO THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER AND THEY HAVE PICKED ONE THEN THAT IS BETWEEN YOU AND THE BUYER. THIS PERSON NEEDS SOME PAXIL.
