I have had saints for a lot of years, first several were in early 1980's that we got
for free as adults because their owners did not want them, (too much trouble,
going through divorce, etc). I took them and loved them for the years they had
left. When wanting to raise a puppy and not having a lot of money back then I
bought several pups from "back yard" breeders and all of them had severe
health problems. Then in early 90's I went to a reputable breeder and bought a
quality male with a great pedigree and he was the start of my breeding
program - as he was healthy all of his life and passed on his great qualities for
10 years of his life.
Now with 11 adult saints and hundreds of puppies later, I have to say every
year is better than the one before. I Took an animal husbandry course at
Michigan State and after talking to show people, veterinarians, puppy buyers,
dog food reps, etc. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge of dogs, I have
heard horror stories about sick dogs, dog food, puppy mills, surgeries, etc and
used all as a learning experience to try and help other people purchase a
healthy puppy and keep it that way. When you get a healthy pup, the
experience of raising them is a joy, they make you laugh, they love you, and
they are fun! I don't need to list the experience of purchasing an unhealthy
puppy; I know there are many of you that have experienced it as I once Did
over the years as well as a wealth of knowledge, I have made some great
friends, dog people who love these big sweethearts and we have a wonderful
network
