Thanks Bonnie....I was a little taken aback by some of the e-mails. I am not
sure that I will continue to "talk" with the people on this site. I am
annoyed with the back stabbing breeders in the area here, we don't know who
to believe. It is a free country, people have the right to say what they
want. Yes I am educated on the breed as well as others, but at this point a
lecture does nothing but hurt feelings. The fact is we spent $877.00 on the
puppy, we don't have another 850.00 to 1,500.00 plus to pay for another dog
from a breeder. That is the low and high of the prices around here. We don't
mind waiting...we have been for about a year now. So as you can imagine we
are a little frustrated. I know all about barking, my previous dog was a
Samoyed, and the most stubborn un-nuetered male you could imagine. But he
was a terrific boy! I hope I don't come across wrong, none of us are happy
with this situation, but it is, what it is. We are litterally stuck. I plan
on alot of expenses, we already have a huge crate...food, toys, plan on lots
of obedience school, visits to the vet and so on but I also have a family to
take care of here. We can't afford to cut our losses and go somewhere else.
