What toys? Thats exciting to see your products on the shelf!!!
Just some extra info:
In the US you must be USDA licensed to sell animals to a pet store. This is to protect you and the new
pet owner. I sold small animals to
pet stores in the past (never chins, I wouldn't dare). I had 7 large stores with contracts and as the contracts expired I stopped breeding for each store. Why? Because store owners care more about the money than the animal. I had print out sheets, enforced specific feed brands for them to carry and they still neglected the proper care of the animals. I resently talked to an old client ,who has expanded his business and is carrying chins, from a bulk wholesaler, I asked if he was interested in purchasing new cages, that I make and have sold to him for yrs and he informed me that they last too long and likes the plastic better since the chins chew them and they ware out faster. Ignorant Huh. This store has been successful for many years (ripping off the public).
I just like people to be informed. The stores I sold to were large chains and the little guys.
So I was talking to her and she asked if we were still breeding the chins (even though it's only been a couple days since I last saw her) And I told her we are. She asked if she could buy a couple from me and sell them at the pet store. I told her I really liked to know where my babies were going and she didn't really understand. She said that if someone is going to buy a $150+ animal- they're not going to just throw it outside. I agreed to a degree because lots of people buy high dollar dogs then just abandon them, So I told her "They would try to take good care of them, but they don't really know what chins need." She told me I could probably be right and I pointed out again that I could print out a care sheet as long as she supplies every chin buyer with one. She said I could and I could put whatever at the bottom of each page... ect- "Source: ChinZ-n-Stuff" or what not. I told her I would do that and she said that she would give them out. I'm going to make one today and hopfully get it faxed out. Im praying this will enlighten (sp?? I know that's not right) a teeny portion of my side of the world up on chinnies.
