Why buy “just a pet” from a show dog breeder?

 Joan Foote’s Website is full of lies, to include advertising also for “pet quality” pups. Please read this info taken from “Dog Owner’s Guide–The Online Magazine” regarding this topic.

“What is most important, however, is that the correct puppy is matched with the correct home, be it a show home or a companion home. Both types of homes are equally important. The right home gives that puppy the best chance of a life-long loving relationship with its owner.

Show dog breeders take their breeding program very seriously. It takes a lot of time, energy, effort and money to breed dogs well. It is a labor of love, one that does not end when a puppy is sold, but continues when the puppy is placed with a family. Each puppy is a life-long commitment for the breeder. It will be backed up with the breeder’s written contract. That contract says the breeder will be there for that buyer, to answer questions or to assist in training. It says the puppy comes from parents whose health and temperament are sound. It says the breeder stands behind that puppy for all times, even if, God forbid, there is a problem.

Show dog breeders can’t afford to have anything other than a healthy, reputable breeding program. Most of their puppies are sold through word of mouth from satisfied customers, groomers, veterinarians and other dog people. Just as certain as the pet puppy buyer wants a healthy, happy, long-lived dog, the show dog breeder wants a healthy, happy, long-lived home for every puppy. Pet homes are every bit, if not more, important than show homes to the show dog breeder. How I wish every pet puppy buyer understood that!”

Does ANY of the above describe Joan Foote and Thunder Valley Rottweilers? I believe the answer is NO. So you see, pet or show quality pups, are NOT available on her site or in her breeding program. Joan needs to face the truth as we all know it and end this nightmare.
