I agree with others that your email was a bit much. It comes off like an interrogation and quite frankly, the answer provided was appropriate. I have shown and bred (limited) and I will say that I got tons of tire kickers. I would not have necessarily been offended by your questions, but maybe in the manner they are put, especially if I had taken the time to create/pay for a website to answer most of your questions. It might have been helpful to point out that you sought the answers but were unable to find it on said website. Sad to say, as intelligent as I know you to be from this forum, it might appear you are comprehensionally challenged or to lazy to read the information provided. (JMHO)Breeders are busy people, especially ones of high energy breeds as Chessies. And your email is not the only one in the inbox. I would have probably not even replied, as bitchy as that sounds. I had 2 pups available from one litter and had hundreds of inquiries just from word of mouth and referrals from other breeders. Never even listed the litter on my site. Lots of kooks out there, believe me. I think your WOT and manner lumped you in that category.That being said, there are just as many fruit loop breeders out there too and I know some with some bad breeding practices that would have passed your scrutiny with flying color. I also know some great breeders with phenominal dogs and bloodlines who have tons of quirks and personality issues to overcome that you have to work with if you want one of their pups. It is their call. But it is also your choice. Very few good breeders need you to provide a home, they will have waiting lists and you pay the price and dance to their tune. Clearly, this breeder is not a fit for you and I hope you find one the pup of your dreams.
