I took HRH to Dr Chuck's to get her stitches out on Tuesday, and there was a man in there with a little pupper doxie. I was of course enthralled. Got to talking to this guy and he has... 29 (or maybe he said 39, I was floored so I can't remember) doxies. He had had 2 girls each have a litter the night before and I asked how many he generally breeds (I am thinking mill.... BYB at the least) and he said he's not a breeder.
Being my demure self, I popped right off with "mister, if you had two litters of puppies last night and you have 29 doxies, you are a breeder".... He launched in about his world champion this and 50# original doxie from England, etc. He stared naming off this champion and that champion and more..
Said he has every color- b/t, red, longhairs, piebald (asked me if I even knew what piebald is! the nerve- some of our best friends are piebald!) etc..I was sure he was going to tell me about some beautiful double dapples, but thank dog he quit.
I do not want to judge,and he WAS at the vet... but sheesh. I can't help but wonder if this was the guy married to the woman Duchie and encountered in our Great WalMart Caper back in the fall.....
What should I have done/said?
