Personally, I think your email was a bit weird. You said a lot of stuff about your old dog and the like which could have been condensed and was not pertinent. Maybe I have been grading too many OT exams haha, but that struck me as odd.

The number of questions you ask is HUGE. If I got an email like that I may not even have replied. It was pretty intrusive. You may have asked if you could CALL and talk to them about this. I would have asked about what they breed for specifically - if they do trials, showing, etc. It looks like they "use" these dogs in the field, etc. Most of your questions are answered in their Q and A's. They were actually quite informative. And I liked their sales contract and questionnaire. They will take dogs back, guarentee health, all the dogs have OFA's. No red flags.

I think this is a lot like people who respond to sales ads without reading, honestly. It would annoy me as well. Sorry!
I included the stuff about my old dog because a lot of the breeders we have been talking to have wanted to know what pets we currently have, what pets we've had in the past, if they were put down or died or natural causes etc.. I guess I was just trying to provide all of that information upfront given the number of breeders I've had that have asked about it.

Where did you find the Q and A's on the Trinity website?? I didn't find that at all...
