Time to Stop The Bashing - Page 1

Yes, there are a lot of trustworthy breeders. I've bought a lot of dogs over the years, only got cheated on one. Sadly it's usually the bad ones that get all the attention.

I hope you mean they are giving you another dog and you aren't giving Lexie up for the 'replacement' because she has HD?

I am very happy with my pup from Marienhof Kennels in Florida.  A friend of mine was looking for a pup and contacted them, and while they did not have a litter at the time, referred them to someone who did.  Very nice people.

Years ago, I purchased 2 pups from a breeder in Ga (Gunter Webber).  I like the pups so much, that I bought another from him a few years later.

I have talked with Patricia at vom Jordan haus and thought she was a lovely woman, unfortunately the dog I inquired about was sold But was kind enough to give me a couple of days to think about the purchase.    But I would not hesitate to go back to see what they might have at my time of need.

Also, buyers need to take note and see what is written in their contracts before their purchase(s) and before they have a problem if one arises.  Breeders cannot take responsibility for every little detail about the puppies/dogs purchsed.  There are environmental factors which play a hugh part in raising any dog.  JUdy P you are lucky I am glad it worked out for you.  Buyers READ YOUR CONTRACTS and understand where your responsibilities lie.  GOOD LUCK  Nan

I had a great experice with Geistwasser (Bill Kulla and Jennifer Acevedo) and would/will definitely go back to them again.  I know several people with dogs from them who are very happy.

I like hearing about credible breeders from credible people thanks very much.

I love my breeder. My Malinois is perfect for me. I just hope she's still breeding Malinois when it's time to get another. I'll import my dogs instead of buying in the states every time. Although if that MaceMalinois here in PA gives me a good deal on a male with NO CONTRACT (cash and carry - see ya) one day - I'd buy from him. He's got a good eye for Malinois, that I know.

Finding a perfect dog is hard to do to begin with, then find out they want me to sign a contract will all kinds of BS demands, do's and don'ts ... forget that. I buy something it's all mine. Period. You won't hear from me again unless I decide to send updates, pictures or want another pup.

Why all these dogs people buy have all these problems is beyond me, I have NEVER owned a pup that turned up ill or HD or anything major or terminal threw out it's life. Every dog I've owned lived past 15 with the exception of Falcon - he was killed by a stray dog at 6 months old. (GSD) Dugan (my deceased brothers dog I inherited) is 17 now. And I've only had him on RAW/BARF for the past 5 years - after the first 6 months or so on RAW/BARF it's like he went backwards in age a few years. I know RAW/BARF expanded this dogs life - it was obvious then and now. I bet I can get Dugan past his 20th birthday. Now he can't keep up with my Malinois at all - never could, but he can still pony along side a horse at 17.

There has to be some kind of connection with the environment they are raised, exercise they get, how they are treated and the food they eat - because I don't see any of the problems mentioned on these forums with ANY of my dogs I've ever owned.

I also think, some people search out and buy from people with the intent to ruin.

A bit of a different twist, but over the past 20 years my dogs, four Rottis and now a Shepherd have all come from the same type of place, a RESCUE, they are great places to deal with, and the dogs give you so much love in return, I swear they know you saved them from a life of hell.
