You see...this is where BG has the problem with this thread. The topic says "did i get ripped off". Well this thread could go in a few different ways. Just say the first few people say he did. Soon enough the sellers name will come up in the thread before he's ever been proven to do anything wrong. People come and read the thread before the final verdict is in...they go on with their lives and never come back to it...but it's always in the back of their mind that this breeder ripped someone off. They tell someone..and on and on and on.
my 80% is NOT based on anything buy what I see. I have no idea who it is, what the motives are for the thread ... no idea who the poster is, but they are concerned and asking for people to chime in, so that is all I am doing.

I can't be 100% because of the pictures and because I am not you.

People that are new to the hobby have expectations and fears, sometimes some of those things need opinions and advice. If you ask me the poster did the right thing posting the pictures here and asking if he should be concerned. He didn't post the breeders name or say he WAS taken for a ride, but what he did do was ask a question .. in a place where there are a lot of people able and willing to help him with his questions. I would say that is better than taking the fear and anger he had to the breeder right away without having some assurance one way of the other.

I have been in the posters shoes, unsure about what you see. I have in the heat and fear of those moments posted stuff that was dumb, but it is all part of figuring out what is going on.

BG needs to take a step back and realize that not everyone is out for blood, that there are good people in this hobby ... but some are new to everything.

Chillax man.
