Guest Buttermilk Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 i understand contact is two way but the times i was in contact with t the response was barely a sentance about the pics and when i mentioned about him being funny when the bulldog was in season i was told i shouldnt get another dog , lol so why should i bother? Why should you 'bother'???....maybe to ensure the dog goes to a good, knowlegeable home that has experience of the breed and won't be passed on? Isn't that reason enough? It shouldn't be about whether or not you feel the breeder 'chats' to you enough...surely, personality clashes aside, the welfare of the young dog should be paramount?
