OT: WTB: Golden Retriever puppy!
Way off topic here, but I'd thought some of you out-of-towners might actually know some of the breeders and can hook me up.
I mean, I can't believe it! Half a year ago I walked into a pet store and bought a dog for my GF, <kaching> no questions asked. Now I'm trying to get one for my parents and holy sh|t it's such a hassle trying to get one from a breeder. They have to interview you on the phone and in person, ask 50000000 questions about your lifestyle etc. AND in the end you might have to get on a waiting list or you have to be lucky, coz I had TWO freaking offers turned down coz I didn't visit fast enough, ARGH!
Anyway, still waiting to hear from a couple of breeders but thought to try here as well. I assume none of the TO guys will have any leads? Prove me wrong.

but that forum is down too now....
if its possible, see if you can check their history....

That was a hoax. It was also sent to the world in Email, saying the puppies were to be "put to sleep" if not given away in 2 weeks, junk mail to the world in a couple of days. My mom got it, my dad got it, my manager got it, my GF got it, the whole D/T Toronto got that Email.
In fact, that's what prompted my family to decide to get one, haha... Now I'm frantically trying to find a breeder that will actually SELL one to me, damn. To think I actually have to pretty much BEG them to sell me a $800 puppy. Geez, I'm even giving up half my rims fund for this and that's the attitude I get from these breeders, unbelievable.
Sorry, just had to vent a bit, as I've always been a "I'm the consumer, the customer is always right" kinda guy (at least it's also how *I* do business, my customer is always right) so being treated like this and not being able to get what I want (with my $$$) is really frustrating.

the dogs put to sleep....? i dont remember reading that on that thread on the torontocivics.com forum...
it was some white guy...... he even had pics up of the puppies.... but i guess it still may be a hoax.
but im sure he didnt say anything about puttting them to sleep. im about 99% sure about that.
i heard about the email one... they said they were giving it up for free....... but this guy on the civic forum said he was giving 'em away for a min. 100 bucks each. and when one guy mentioned about selling them to pj's... he got mad 'cause he didnt like that place....
so i dunno..
too bad the site is down.... or i'll even check myself, 'cause i was thinking about getting one too.
