Hi Folks. This weekend is a six show weekend which I organize every July 1 long weekend. I have three different couples who have approached me at other shows where I've been showing in the last couple of months who are bringing the info on breeders and pedigrees of dogs they have ordered from Ireland for me to have a look at and hopefully give them some good news. Papers were on the way (oh dear). Would anyone be willing to tell me (privately if you wish) who the puppy mill people are that I should be aware of when trying to help these folks out. Unfortunately payment has already been made but I'd like to be able to advise them if there is nothing to fret about. I don't really know these people but they did approach me at my set up and asked for advice. I asked them to bring their stuff up to my show as I stay there from morning till night and would have more time to go over it with them. From my conversations with all of these people, they have no knowledge whatsoever of the breed and their primary reason for purchasing is to "get into breeding". This doesn't make me happy but at least I can try now to educate them in arrears so to speak. Any info would be appreciated and the source kept totally confidential. Thank you.
