I’m going to make this PSA and pin it to the top of my page so there’s never any confusion ever again.
First off, I am more than just a breeder. My husband and I also own a couple of small businesses that we pour ourselves into, have full-time jobs, raise our children, devote time to seasonal activities for our kids, and just have our every days lives that fills SO much of our time. We have gotten incredibly busy over the last 18 months and are trying to find the balance between it all. Our priorities are our kids, dogs, and puppies.
Now, nobody, and I mean NOBODY has a right to my time besides God, my husband, my kids, our dogs & puppies, and myself. If I say I don’t have time to do something, then I don’t have time to do it. Will I get to it? Yes. Will it be on MY time? Yes. I will explain and apologize for the inconvenience. I will not drop everything that I’m doing to do what’s being demanded of me by a puppy buyer. My website states that calls are scheduled. I have that stated on there for a reason. It also states that I will take updated pictures AS I CAN and may end up being bi-weekly depending on how busy I am during that timeframe. If I have the time and opportunity to take pictures or videos every week, then I will absolutely do that. I will not be bullied and talked like crap to because pictures were sent every two weeks instead of every week (or on demand) because that’s what the buyer has set as their expectations.
I am human. I am a human that is trying so hard to be everything for everyone, but am spread incredibly thin in this season of my life. Having breakdowns from it all has shown me that I need to slow down and re-evaluate a couple of areas that are overly demanding. If I’m spoken down to, even after providing an apology, clarity, and an explanation, but receive no apology, grace, or patience in return, I full reserve the right to cancel the sale and discontinue all communication after I’ve provided an explanation and d3posit refund. Especially after I provided nothing but kindness, understanding, and grace when the previous arrangement for a different puppy just a few months prior, was canceled for their own personal reasons.
I’m a human. Not a doormat.
I like to take nice photos or videos of my puppies. I like to set up an area and make sure they’re clean before doing so. This is why I don’t typically just take them on a whim. Nursing, eating mush, and litter box training is all messy. I don’t like FaceTime. I will do it with the only the puppy in the video, but I, personally, do not like being in it. I don’t even do FaceTime with my husband or family. It’s a comfortability thing and no one has a right to try to force me out of my comfort zone.
Everyone runs their program their own way. Some don’t have jobs, kids, or much going on in life. These breeders are able to devote so much more of their time being available at all times. I make sure everyone is taken care of, clean, healthy, and thriving before anything else. I always take care of myself last, if at all.
Like I said, I’m working on balancing life better and scaling back in certain areas, but no one has a right to attack me for no reason, especially when I have it clearly stated as to what to expect when getting a puppy from us. If you make someone have a complete breakdown from feeling like a failure simply because you didn’t get a picture sent every week vs every other week, then shame on you. I refuse to cater to the hateful anymore.
