ive always been brought up too believe a pet is for life and not just because its a faze or in this case a bit of money! its sad but it happens

When we first wanted a GSP, the lady we rang only sold them to 'show homes'.
(All her dogs are champions. maybe she wanted to keep it this way.)

mmmm...thats very odd since every reputable breeder I know off is more than happy to have pet homes waiting for pups since they know that a good prportion of the pups they produce will not be suitable for the ring .Think you had a lucky escape personally
