Hey folks. I find myself needing to locate a breeder. I was working with a breeder, and sadly she has a 625 dollar non refundable (based on the policy I agreed to) deposit from me. I was the top of a wait list for a Brindle Male. The first litter from October that I was supposed to get a pup from died (some squished by mom and the others died after the mom dried up 3 days after the birth on milk). She had another litter this past Friday with a different set of parents and half of that litter has died due to apparent birth defect issues and this female has now dried up milk as well. On top of that she produced no brindles so I was willing to settle on the one Apricot male she has. But I now find that these issues she is having just dont seem like something that would be happening with healthy parents. I mean we are talking about 10 pups that have died due to nutrition/development issues and accidents between mom and pup in 2 litters from 2 different pairs of dogs within a few months. I am going to have to accept most likely I am walking away from that money sadly (which REALLY SUCKS). I have inquired about getting my money back but I am doubtful on it happening.So with that said does anyone know of breeders within 4-6 hours of Chattanooga that may have litters available late March to early April? I am hoping to find one and am hoping not to overtly break the bank since I am already eating that 625.Thanks so much and if I need to post this some place else please feel free to move it.
