Money really isn't everything!

So sorry for the long silence. I had been extremely busy here with the nine super active pups. Taking care of them does take up most of my day. Thank God for the CNY, my dearest wife took a break from work to 'enjoy' the tiring work of caring for the puppies. Now that she is back to the normal routine, I am the last man standing! Heh! At least till she gets back for the weekend. It is tiring but a fulfilling experience when you see how they grow by the day, their antics and play brings such precious joy. This morning while feeding them, I suddenly had this heavy heart in me as I thought of the day when I have to send them away. Sigh... I had to pause and sit down for a while before continuing to clean them up. I pray that good and responsible dog lovers will come my way. So far, we had some inquiries, a few bookings but I must say that it is sad that there are many out there who start bargaining before even seeing the little ones. We have decided not to pursue these as we feel that pricing is the last criteria to determine the ownership of our Golden Retrievers. We do not breed to make a living and we are certainly not puppy mills. We do everything possible within our means to raise them properly, provide the best environment and food supplement to enjoy a good foundation for the future. Anyway, I do think that you need to come see them first before determining if you wish to proceed with a relationship with the best friend you will ever have. Anyway, they are in their six week now and super adorable. We shall be taking pictures this coming weekend and posting them asap.
Take care and God bless!

I know "money really isn't everything!" but even at your lowest published price of MYR1600, I also can't afford ler. If only "money isn't an issue to me", I will surely rush to Raub now :) Guess it's back to SPCA for me...

By the way, if I can do w/out the MKA certification, can you consider to allow me to adopt one of your puppy at below MYR500 ?

yep, agree with you totally. everyone has a budget to live with but keeping a purebred does cost a fair bit each month and generally if you can't allocated funds to buy one then it is best to put your desires on hold till you can. seriously i have never been able to get anywhere near the prices i posted. once i see a good home, i am so eager for my puppies to go there so much so i just ask the buyer to give me whatever. anyway, if you are keen to adopt a smaller dog which cost less to keep and maintain, pls do email me. of course you must have a loving home and have the time.
