I never thought about the fact people may use the same male dog, but you're right -- they should be honest about it! :) Ah!

While lots of responsible breeders use male dogs who are owned by other people, they will be honest and have information about the dog and his owners. If someone says "oh, the father ran away" with no other information - you should run away too! That’s an excellent point Diane!

Through her experience and what she told me, I learned to be leary of people who only have one parent...and try to sell the story that the other parent just died or ran away, etc. Usually that means the dog is not full bred and they are hiding something...apparently. Whether it's true or not, I don't know..but something to think about. A friend of mine went through the process of getting two labs last year.
