of honesty and good breeders

And so it starts.

Just as I expected, instead of admitting there's problem in a litter with temperaments, the accusations fly. OBVIOUSLY the son had to've done SOMETHING to the dog.(doesn't admit at least one of the sibs is a fruitloop too from what my sources in TX say) Just like her best friend did to a good friend of mine who's dog was dog aggressive, obviously something THE OWNER or her dogs did had to be the problem. Instead of just going oops, I'm sorry, let me make it better. Yep, that makes people want to return dogs to you! NOT!!!!

Funny thing is, if the 1st breeder bothered to contact the breeders of dogs behind hers, she'd find out that strange temperaments are back there. But OH NO, to do so would be to admit she doesn't know EVERYTHING. And we JUST can't have that, can we? Even before she showed her absolute true colours, she never asked question one about the pedigree behind the dog I gave her. Duh.

Both of the idiots i'm talking about are such control freaks it's not funny when it comes to things like this. They have to seem all knowing, omnipotent, to do otherwise is a failure. She'd learn a lot about the pedigrees behind her dogs and good borzoi in general if she opened her mind and ears and shut her mouth (that's the hard part with her)

Good grief, nobody knows everything, not even the true experts in the breed. And if they're honest with themselves(and so many are not) they will admit it. And those are the true master breeders.

When I had the quirky temperaments pop up, I went to the breeder of the dam, and we figured it out. The sire's sire was shy and slightly spooky, the same temperament is behind the dam, and the genes come together and bam, you get things you don't expect. Dam is half sister to the sire of my friend's pup, so it's there.

But nope, instead of researching it, the blame starts getting lobbed. .same thing happened to me with the pup I returned, OBVIOUSLY i didn't train her right and that's why she didn't course(she got the same training as the litter her sire came out of, and 8 of the 9 pups run, so I think I know what I'm doing), OBVIOUSLY I didn't train her right for the ring, cuz she acted like an ass for her breeder, but never acted like an ass for me in the ring, nor the stranger I handed her off to for futurity at the nationals.

This time its worse, accusations of my friend's child abusing the dog. . .yeah, right. .. they got the dog as a mature adult, they got the pup from me at 3 months. .the pup grew up find and dandy, the bitch has always been a FRUITLOOP.

Admit it, call a spade a spade. Instead, you cause animosity between you and the puppy buyer, the word gets around, and people won't return dogs to you because you're known as a dishonest loon. And yes, the word gets around, it already has. I know of at least one person, an unhappy home, that won't return the dog, despite it being dog aggressive, because of the way the breeder has treated her and others. Sad, isn't it?
