Ozzysmom-

You know, I just asked a question, do you always try to make people feel stupid for asking a question????? I thought that is what this board was for, or am I wrong??? For you info, yes I do know about the whole diet and Folic Acid thing.

NOW, let me ask you a question......

If people only breed their Chi's to "better the breed" then why do they SELL them for hundreds of dollars????? Why not just GIVE them to good homes??? I mean they were only born to "better the breed" they weren't supposed to be born to make the owners some money. And if you own a male Chi and you breed him with someone else's female, I'm sure you charge the females owner a pretty penny. Just how much would you charge????

Let me just say that I have been breeding and showing for 15 years, I did not want to get into this but since you are so defensive and seem to have a very short temper, not to mention that Ozzymom was simply asking a question and to be frank you are very rude.

Let me shed some light on why I adopt out our puppies: ( I am ONLY SPEAKING for MYSELF not other breeders!!)

It takes a lot of care to raise and show Chihuahuas. More money that you will ever make in selling the puppies. I do not sell my show quality pups they are kept and made champions. When you adopt out the pet quality pups as I do there is a adoption fee of $ 400 that includes, vet checks. shots, worming, crate (even if you are not shipping) Blanket, toys, and food (yes I send a 7lb bag of food home with the new mommies and daddies) and a pack of puppy pee pee pads ( yes I send them home too) And a tube of Nutracal (yes I send that home too). And let me tell you that come to right around the $400 dollars. Now I am not saying that there are people out there just looking to make money. But if you find a breeder that cares alot about their pups as I do then there is NO PROFIT to be made!!! :wink:

My post was in no way rude as KJ said I wass asking a question and even my reply started off "not meaning to be rude.............." I just get a little fed up with people coming on here and have bred their bitch who is not true to the standard etc when there are poor dogs sat in rescues etc and eventually with all these backyard breeders( not that Im implying the poster is a backyard breeder) in a few years chis will not look like chis anymore and it just breaks my heart

thanks so much KJ for sticking up for me this person does not know me and obviously didnt read my post properly this is a discussion board and wouldnt it be boring if we all agreed on the same thing for one us mods wouldnt be needed lol, I stated it was JMHO so sue me .................. :?

No problem at all!! I did not think you where being rude at all, usually when people are breeding for the WRONG reasons, like money, they get very defensive. So on that note you now know why they where so angry
