Sadly I have again been contacted this week by someone who has gone through a horrendous time when having purchased a "protection dog" from a less than reputable individual. The young family concerned have a specific threat in their life that they felt they needed a dog for. They thumbed through google , found what appeared to be a established company, made contact and the "representative" offered to bring dogs to them. To cut a long tail (pardon the pun) short the dog they purchased turned out to be everything they were told he wasn't. It frequently fouled in the house, chewed furniture, dominated the lady of the house , growled at the children and needless to say the dog has been removed from that situation. I can't name the individual on this blog but my advice will always be this, satisfy yourself that the company you are dealing with has good heritage, has the experience in supplying good quality dogs, has a sound customer base that they are proud of and happy to refer to. Ultimatley this will be a purchase made on trust and shouldn't be just about an individual making a "sale".
