EM Breeder Discussion

[ruthcatrin]

... I didn't feel the same connection with the people I called..

sometimes thats what counts

Also have test results on him for cystinuria? Which states negative I'm not familiar with this...

I know these lines reasonably well, as follows:

* The sire of my boy (Duke) is the maternal grandfather of these pups. I know the dogs on the top and bottom of that part of the pedigree better than most.
* Duke's maternal grandfather's lines share some overlap with the pup's maternal grandmothers' lines.
* I bred our girl (Jade) to the littermate brother of your pup's paternal grandsire.
* The pup's paternal grandmother's lines are also similar to some of the dog's behind Duke's maternal grandsire's lines.

I have several obervations. If you care to discuss, you're welcome to contact me privately. No need to sidetrack this thread.

Regardless of whatever pup you pick, good luck to you and him/her!

Hi, new here and am captivated by your list of breeders as I'm about to lose my dear Paige to cancer.

I've found Carol Sims in Plant City, Florida and wondered if anyone has any experience with her.

Thanks, in advance!

Very sorry to hear that storm.

I have no experience with her and have only given her website a cursory look.

Several red-flags appear ... namely, you shouldn't need to put down a non-refundable deposit on a well-bred pup. Additionally, it appears that there are no pedigrees of the parents of her pups. Finally, while she says there is health testing done on her dogs, I can't find the evidence that what she says is true.

It's a reasonably well done website (I couldn't do any better; I'm a bit of a technophobe). The dogs shown appear to be well-adapted pets. If the welfare of the breed (including a rigorous attempt to stick to the specific traits laid out in the breed standard) is the paramount priority for a breeder, I'm not sure why some of these animals are being bred.

Thank you, so much for your comments. No doubt so many of us have faced the horrible day when we lose a member of our family.

I very much, appreciate your looking at Sims and found a few red flags there, myself. Thank you!

Now talking with Beowulf.

I'm such a mess about losing Paige that I'm easy pickings for a bad breeder!

You're talking with Beowulf about getting a puppy?

As I would would advise anyone looking for a puppy, let Google be your friend.

^Ha....isn't Beowulf the one (of many probably) that forces you to feed a specific food.....you know, 'cause they sell it?

yup, and IIRR zero health testing

 

[ruthcatrin]

Oh yah, and they breed bitches well before they're 2yrs of age, the more I look at their site the more I remember them.....its not ZERO health testing, but they don't do much, if only because they breed so young!

 

[WalnutCrest]

There are other reasons why they started requiring a certain food. I'm not sure the other reason is grounded in science.

Keep researching.

OKEEEDOKEE!

See, there is a reason I'm here! Thank you, so much!

Do y'all have info on a quality breeder planning on a summer litter?

First, did you find the answer to the question about why they require the specific food, or are you taking the fact that I made the point too mean something nefarious?

Second, there are more than a few nice summer litters coming. Look up crossroad mastiffs. She doesn't breed often, but happens to have two in route.

We bought our fella from Rockport and our fella is just wonderful. Our vet was very enthusiastic on his health and temperament. Ripley (the dog) and I take training sessions and our trainer just adores him. Me too, but that's a DUH.

I also go my boy from Rockport. When did you get yours? We picked up Guinness last October, he is 14 months old today. We love him he's a big goof!
