I want to start my search for a new breeder for the pup we want to add in the next year or so...
But I'm scared.
I made a big mistake with River and got very lucky. Her breeder wasn't exactly a BYB, but she was not as reputable as my 'skin deep' research led me to believe. Knowing now what to look for, I wouldn't have picked her again. Luckily River is healthy, though she doesn't meet standard.
Now I'm terrified to contact breeders. I've marked a few breeders, have everyone on the NCA Breeders' list memorized, and looked at their puppy questionnaires. I have this irrational fear that their going to find us wanting, or worse...look at River and find her wanting, and then decide we're not a good home for one of their pups.
Basically my question is, what as a breeder would make you turn someone down? Thanks
