I have been posting here (and other places) about a new puppy I had placed a deposit on.

I was just notified by my breeder that my puppy deal was called off and I'm getting refunded my puppy deposit in full. According to her, some breeders informed her of my postings on some dog web-based forums. I think it was on some other dog forum I had posted on lately.

I will have to start all over again from square one and shop for a new puppy from another source.

I probably should stay off ALL dog-related social media until my new puppy is finally secured.

Look at Old Oak Retriever in Southern MN, you can find them on Facebook and the web. I have a 15-month-old male from their male Ringo and mom Jackie. He's very trainable, loves the water, retrieving birds up to 150 yds, very healthy. The breeders own a very nice kennel; her husband is a professional trainer and breeds English labs. She handles the Golden side. Ringo is the stud dog from Italy they bought him and he's a titled International Field trial champion. Jackie the mom is working on her masters. They also have another female they breed and stud Ringo out. I picked my pup up at their kennel, meet the owners and both dogs. My pup was reasonability priced. He is the 8th Golden I have bought all out of AFC dogs.

Best working, not best looking?

Just go to their website and see their dogs. Did you even check them out?

I can only imagine why the breeder told him to take a hike, when he posted on GRF that the mother dog of his puppy looked run down but that the breeder was no looker herself! WOW Surprise! No puppy for you!

I find it hilarious someone got banned from GRF for being too superficial.

Which do you suppose was more offensive to the breeder: A) the insult to her "frizzy haired" dam or B) the insult about her own looks? 🤔

Are we talking dog breeders in general or Golden breeders in particular?

I'm sure the breeder didn't appreciate him tearing down herself or her dog...which by the way I looked at both, and neither of them are unattractive. The dam isn't frizzy, she has a very typical wavy coat and since she's 4 I doubt she's "beat up by having litters". But perhaps it was the part where he said that they used to discipline their dogs by hitting them with books, and once with a hammer to the head that put her off.

Hard to find a beautiful dog with brains and ability to hunt with plenty of prey drive. Are you wanting a working line?
