If they buy from a reputable breeder, and (God forbid) something happens...at least that breeder will be there for them, to help with emotional support, suggestions, and even money to get that baby the best possible care.

Amen! My brother bought a puppy for my mom from someone that was not reputable. After my mom was totally attached we found out the dog had a genetic problem with her bladder. The lady would not even talk to my brother, and mom had to get her dog two operations. I am glad we have our Tia but we also were not wise. I lost the card from the breeder so I can never go talk to her about Tia. We got Tia outside of Wal-mart. We were lucky and we did not know not to buy from just anyone. I have learned much since coming to this site. Thanks for the posts!
