Journey Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Good working breeders don't need to big themselves up in the UK; word of mouth is enough. I'm sure most are very busy people too and not much given to idle theorising. Which might be why this person gave the interview.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum24dog Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I must admit that I'm puzzled as to why someone who has just got a BC pup and afair hasn't mentioned any previous dog experience should be running a web site about dog breeding. I don't understand why an apparent newbie to the dog world would be promoting breeding of any kind. Perhaps Lazhar could explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Well aside from the purpose of the website, which I admit I have not perused beyond the linked article, I disagree that good working breeders won't give interviews or talk about breeding in general. I've never had anyone on either side of the pond refuse to discuss breeding theory and practice with me. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Dogs Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 If you want some amusement go to darnfar's website and click on the link that says "health guarantee." It is a long rant about why they don't provide a guarantee and mentions cryptorchidism quite a bit. I know for a fact she has sold cryptorchid puppies. . . as "breeding quality." Need I say more?

GentleLake Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Where's there a link for "health guarantee"? I was curious and went to their website. Went through a number of pages and I'll be dipped if I can find it. (IOW, they don't make it very easy to find.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maralynn Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I Googled the name along with "health guarantee" and found a page. Didn't see much about cryptorchidism though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Here's one page I found when I searched keywords "darnfar" + "health" + "guarantee": http://darnfar.com/puppy_health_guarantee.htm There's no mention of cryptorchidism in this one at all. A second entry produces this, in the FAQ section (which I didn't find in that section the first time I looked. Perhaps I overlooked it.): http://darnfar.com/FAQ/What_Is_A_Puppy_Guarnatee.htm In it, she does discuss cryptorchidism as one example, but I wouldn't call it "quite a bit", though that could be a matter of understanding that phrase. The mention is thorough, but since she doesn't come back to it, I interpret it as one, albeit detailed, reference to the condition . . . which is just my long winded way of saying I'm not sure if it's the same one Crawford Dogs is referring to.

Crawford Dogs Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 It was up there back in December when I'd been on her page. I'm guessing she has changed her page since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
