I tell them how that my main concern has to do with the vaccination protocol they are going to follow and I talk about Dr. Jean Dodds and give them all the info. I also give them almost 40 pages of information I have put together covering all areas of concern to me and information helpful to new pet owners. Then I say "and I insist that anyone who buys a puppy form me promise to listen to me and not to their vet when it comes to health issues concerning this puppy. I have the best interest of your dog at heart and the vet is concerned about paying his bills." Armed with many, many documents from vet schools and references for them to go to, I have never had anyone (honestly) go against my wishes. I believe that it is obvious to them that I love my dogs and put a great deal of time into learning what is best for them. I know that if I were in their situation I would listen to my breeder as well.
