Copied from another breeder: absloutley love this 👍

POTENTIAL OWNER: How much is the puppy?
BREEDER: £2,000 - £4000
POTENTIAL OWNER: What?? It's way too expensive!!
BREEDER: What do you think would be a good price?
POTENTIAL OWNER: No more than £500. You breeders are so over priced.
BREEDER: I am sorry you see it this way, why don't you try it yourself?
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I've never done it!
BREEDER: For FREE I can teach you how to do it, and in addition you will have the knowledge to do it again.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Perfect, thank you!
BREEDER: To start you will need a female(average cost £3000 and up). Also a male(average cost £3000 and up) or semen (average £500 and up). Raise and provide daily care, feeding & grooming for 2 years. (So minimal £150 per month)
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have that much money...
BREEDER: For £500 you can raise a litter and then keep one of the puppies. Obviously, you will pay the cost of whelping & care.
POTENTIAL OWNER: I can do that.
BREEDER: OK so I have a female due to whelp in 2 weeks. You will need to be available 24/7 around the clock for at least 10 to 12 weeks to help with delivery and care for tinies, 14 weeks.
POTENTIAL OWNER: 10 to 14 weeks?? it's way too much time for me! I have to work.
BREEDER: You will also need the vet to do xrays / scans (£100-£200), possibly progesterone testing a few times(£75-£250) & C-section(£1000-£2500) and initial vet care on pups until old enough to be placed.
Have on hand a scale, thermometer, latex gloves, sanitizer, absorbent tissues, scissors, hemostats, heating pad, whelping box, blankets, cleaning supplies, appropriate food with supplements for mothers, formula, medications & hand feeding supplies in case of emergency....
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have all these things!
BREEDER: For £1500 to you can buy them.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Ummm .... You know, I think it might be better if I just buy a puppy.
BREEDER: Wise decision.
For us breeders there are no vacations or holidays, while you go to visit with family & friends we are home at our dogs side caring for them. It is a no breaks commitment.
THIS IS THE REALITY
When you choose a professional you don't only pay for the puppy but also:
Tools, knowledge, experience, love, time, sacrifices, and forever breeder support , and you receive a well loved, well socialized puppy from us
❤️

REMEMBER THIS ONE PEOPLE👍 When you find someone that wants to befriend you only to con and mislead you out of many thousands of pounds is unforgivable...it affects your breeding life with pups that are unfit for the purpose they were bought ..This habitual liar is being named and shamed to help warn other breeders of this vile poisoning old woman...Breeders should help each other for the good of their breed not conspire to cheat you out of your money isnt that right SUSAN JAMES of Christchurch Dorset?

Load shedding: 'I am gatvol and so are 60 million other South Africans'. | The Citizen
Faizel Patel • 1d

I am bloody tired of load shedding and so is the over 60 million people in South Africa.

The deliberate power cuts by the dark lords at Megawatt Park, the princes of darkness, the givers and takers of light is just so menacing and ugly.

Before the chronic load shedding, we are experiencing for three weeks now, whenever I received a notice from Eskom about the rolling blackouts and broke the story on The Citizen, readers would swarm to read what is happening.

ALSO READ: Pravin Gordhan announces Mpho Makwana as chair of new Eskom board

Now, it is no longer a shock factor and people have become immune and so used to the broken parastatal’s lame and almost weekly rhetoric excuses. Its becoming a sickening muse that knee jerks South Africans to post their vitriolic comments on social media, “@ #$% you Eskom,” some posted.

I #$%$ing hate load shedding and this is why.

Danger

Load shedding creates a perfect atmosphere for dangerous criminals to pounce.

On Friday, load shedding in Lenasia South kicked in at midnight and was supposed to end at 2am. However, the power never came back and City Power was still investigating as it claimed. I saw reports that criminals may have stolen the cables and this will probably take some time to repair.

Let us not forget the many homes, businesses that have become vulnerable to break-ins and robberies because the invertors and generators can last just so long.

This cable theft has created a catalyst to other bigger problems.

Cellphone signal

With no power in the area, cellphone towers cannot carry a signal, which means no messages, no calls or urgent notifications. It also means no work.

I was fortunate to swop my Saturday night shift with a colleague because it would have become literally impossible to file stories from home and that would mean me driving to the newsroom, which is not a problem, as long as the work gets done.

The lack of signal also creates a hazardous situation where if there is an emergency, the best you can do is run to your neighbours and ask for help.

Rotten food

Food in the fridge can last just so long, if the power outage is more than the anticipated time. Besides that, you cannot have a cup of coffee or brekkie and have to drive to an area where there is power and go to restaurant spending a wad of cash for the early morning meal for you and your family.

That is just breakfast, what about lunch and supper? It all adds up and you just got paid this week and this expense was not budgeted for.

Reckless drivers

Load shedding is a nightmare for motorists, robots not working and everybody wants to get to their destination as quick as possible.

Sadly, people drive like maniacs putting others in danger and while they can’t be blamed for wanting to go first at a four-way robot when they were not first at the intersection, there must be sense of responsibility so that people can arrive alive and the next annual road death do not reflect fatalities as a result of load shedding.

People who are sick

The biggest and worst impact are on those who are sick, particularly those who are receiving home care and are on oxygenators. It will be heartbreaking to see someone lose their life because the equipment they use cannot be powered.

It is a relief though that some hospitals have been exempt from load shedding and perhaps you can go there.

Pets

Pets are who are dear to their owners are as much a casualty in this whole load shedding bull #$%6. I really feel for people who have expensive aquariums with exotic fish which costs thousands of rands.

These hobbies are the pride and joy of their owners.

Some say that watching fish swim in an aquarium brings a sense of calm and serenity when you have a long tiring day.

So much more

This op-ed could go on forever, but I had to cut it short because my laptops battery was gasping for battery life and I could have performed defibration on the gadget, but there was no power. Sorry neh.

Last week, president Cyril Ramaphosa dealt South Africans a blow below the belt when he warned in his weekly newsletter load shedding was here to stay, adding that while there is no quick fix for the deliberate power cuts, “real progress is being made.”

Many South Africans do not believe that “real progress” is being made and even the Eskom board shake-up by Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan is not enough to convince them that the lights will not be deliberately cut while they are in the midst of boiling water for the first cup of coffee after waking up at 4am.

Broken promises?

President Ramaphosa, Minister Gordhan and the Princes of Eskom, stop making promises and switch the lights on because South Africans are gatvol, they are tired.

Their equipment is getting blown at home, they cannot work, they are feeling unsafe and they cannot even eat in their own homes. Is this the better life for all South African that we were promised?

As Judge Clark Brown said in the legal drama Boston Legal, “this is shocking, outrageous”. Stop with the excuses, do not be a “nansy pansy” and just get the bloody work done, switch the lights so that we can turn up a smile even if it is the jokers from Batman, afterall the dark knight only comes out an night.
