    I find it simply astonishing that people still buy puppies this way. This is the second celebrity this week reported to have purchased a puppy on the spur of the moment.

    The other was at an auction!

    How people can make such a life changing decision as to bring a dog into their lives in this way is quite beyond me! :mad:

    Ah but she can pay someone else to train it, feed it, walk it, cuddle it...

    True, but you can bet your life the parents are probably not checked for HD, or PRA, and definitely not for ED CNM or EIC. I bet they didnt get to see the mother either. The dog could turn out to have the most horrendous temperament.

    Wrong in so many ways....

    The doggie world needs some celebrity patrons to promote good practice...
