Here's what I'm wondering, in the works with my previous post...
Obviously when people send their Cavalier's to rescue or they end up in rescue, they don't get any money....
Now for people who are trying to "rehome" their own Cav.... how much do they really get? I've only seen people ask around $200 for ANY dog for a rehoming fee. And wouldn't you hate to be that person that paid too much for a dog, then realize it was a bad decision and now need to give it up? I feel bad, because some people just don't know what they are getting into. And this is in the instance like I'm working with, where someone bought one from a petstore, not a breeder.
And....if you get maybe a retired show Cav from a good breeder, do they have you pay for them?
When I had adopted/rescued a Rhodesian Ridgeback, she was essentially returned to the breeder (of course in the contract) by a family that couldn't keep her. She was 2 1/2. (I was actually going to buy a puppy from her, but the last one was gone already). The breeder homed her to us for free, as she said that she doesn't like to double dip on her pets. Is this the same with most? Unfortunately, she had to go back to the breeder from us because she tried to attack our next door neighbor's dog and she wasn't careful at all around the kids. Plus there was an incident where she either possibly bit my son, or her mouth accidentally came down on his head as she was trying for a toy. Either way, she went back AND we decided a small dog would be better, or at least starting with one as a puppy would be best, so we could train properly.
So, I'm just wondering how all that works. Feel free to PM me with input as well.
