kizkiznobiteit is brave of you laura and i know the reason you wanted to post was so others could learn from your mistakes….
so the first part of that learning is what i always say to clients…on here…in talks..on blogs…
my first lines really…know the breed…know what makes a dog that dog that breed…understand the dog’s drives and instincts and genetics…research and then research again and once you have settled on ‘that’ breed then carry on researching…see the breed in action …all actions…if buying for showing no matter…go see what the dog was bred to do…it all out there…from dalmations being carriage dogs to GSD’s being guarders/herders…and then when you have found a breeder…check the lines, see both parents …ask others that have had from same lines and don’t buy in haste because all pups are cute
