In theory, the breeder has a reasonable right to certain expectations, but I find it much easier to assume total responsibility for the dog's show career and life or ...not expect anything at all pertaining to showing and if the pup is shown, it is a bonus. Plain and simple...this eliminates aggravation, dilemmas and arguments. I am truly happy with my decision and think my pups will be too!

I have told them we could have a lot of fun showing and I am here to help them all the way, but if they decide against it, they can spay the bitch and live happily ever after. > > Joanne, > > That sounds like an ideal solution - good for you!!! And you're right, PPO's will sign just about anything to get a pup. What we've been trying to do for years now is to get them to stop and think about what they are agreeing to! The breeder has a right to some reasonable expectations as well, but I'm glad you've realized the problems with a PPO faced with a tri-colored fluff ball! > > Pat Long (& Luther) > Berwyn PA > > > ____________________________________________________________________________ ____ > Check any e-mail over the Web for free at MailBreeze (http://www.mailbreeze.com) >
