It's not that I have 'too much time on my hands' It has nothing to do with that.. Any dog owner knows they would rather you kick your mama than talk bad about their dogs. I took it personaly being as how I am the breeder of the dog in question. Its a matter of respect. Besides, as a breeder I would have paid for your veterinary visit to settle it once and for all. But, you did'nt come to me, you relied on assumptions. And that's cool, but when a breeder comes back saying 'hey wait a minuite' don't you go getting a kink in your tail. None of my other pups had tails like 'Pokers' (if that's the name still) and heck, lets face it he's a striking looking dog with that poker tail. You Bought Him.
I wish you all the best with your pup. I also tried to influence you to buy the other female, instead of the one you did. She is a FANTASTIC pup and RUNS RUNS RUNS, Natural retriever, and just a sweetheart of a gal. Can't wait to guide some hunts and get some hunts and birds under her belt. I sold Pork a couple weeks ago to a gentleman in Sacremento California, so she's gonna stay with me until I either hunt her a season, or money talks.. You know how that is.
I just want to get along, I have nothing against you, but you met me.. DId I look like I take a lot of trash off of people?
I just don't want people thinking I do things to my dogs to enhance apperance I don't believe in. And that's one of them.
Truly wishing you the best in your endeavors with Poker.
PFP.
WELL, WELL, WELL!!!! I'm not going to reply again on this topic, but I do want to state a couple facts. I never ONCE even came close to making comments about your dogs being bad and I dare someone to try to kick my Mama..
Like I had mentioned before, I was simply asking a question if anyone had seen a tail like that before. And further more, I DID NOT buy Poker, my son did, so lets make sure that one is out in the open as well. I had question about his tail when I first seen him, but my son fell in love with the pictures he saw of him and I wasn't going to go against what he wanted, but maybe I should have. (further more, for what he paid for him, he should have bought a CH sired pup and yes they are out there for that price and dang good bred ones as well)
And I never did say what dog we kept, so on your assumption that it was Poker then so be it, I flat out didn't like the looks of the Dora pup, she had NO flash to her in my opinion, so I think I picked the right pup that would possibly fit what we wanted. And I hope Dora does you fine. In the very end, I purchased the female pup from you to help move a pup for you and have a possible trial dog, but I guess now I should have just left her there and let you try to move her. After all they were what almost 15 weeks old and you still had 5 pups if I'm not mistaken and another litter on the way possibly.. OUCH!!! Sounds like a lot of work to me with a family that is working full time.
But WHATEVER!!! Take care and best of luck on your kennel..
