"About
Those Guarantees"
I have been to a lot of different breeders
web pages and read their "Guarantees"; pages and pages of do's and
don'ts. Each time I sit and smile because all the stuff they put out there is NOT
worth the paper it is written on.
So I am putting this in my simple words
that I feel ALL readers can understand. We are
human and we CAN NOT guarantee genetics, simple,
plain and true!!
So if we have any problems that come up I
will deal with my clients in a honest Christian manner. If having a piece of
paper makes some feel better, then we will work it up at the time of the
purchase so that we are both in agreement with what should take place if your
puppy/dog develops problems.
I always try and give advice and
suggestions for new owners to try and help avoid certain problems that can
develop with our breed, such as hips and elbows. I do give suggestions as
to does and don'ts for their puppies lives to help them grow up without
problems, but I never tell you how to raise your dog. If it is a member of your
family I feel certain you will take the best care of it, and love
it. Even if something might develop I trust you will take it to your
vet and take care of it.
Doctors never guarantee us that all
of our children will be born with NO problems at
birth or develop some illness or won't have some genetic problem in their life
time. Do we want to send them back to the doctor and demand them to replace
them? A bit of humor, but I think you get my point. I will ALWAYS
do my best by having by breeding stock certified that they are healthy and ready
for breeding, but that truly is ALL I can
guarantee. Best of luck in your search for your GSD.
