This is the response I received from Cabela's. I wonder if anyone else received similar posts.

> Jeanne Schoech, > > I would like to take a moment to thank you for your concerns regarding our puppy central days at Cabela's. As the majority of our outfitters live the outdoor lifestyle, we share a common interest regarding the welfare of animals that are sold during our events. Because of this care and concern, we have adopted stringent guidelines that all of our breeders must follow in order to present puppies for sale. The guidelines are as follows; > > 1. Breeders Must register with Cabelas before displaying or selling their puppies. > 2. Breeders Must have a suitable exercise pen for displaying puppies. No puppies will be sold out of the back of any vehicle. > 3. Breeders shall include an offer to refund the buyers money and/or replace the puppy if it develops health problems. Breeders shall reimburse the buyers documented related veterinary expenses in the case that health problems arise within seven days of purchase. > 4. Breeders will provide registration and pedigree records showing breeders name, address, and telephone number for each puppy sold. > 5. Breeders will sell only puppies of sound health and temperament. > 6. Breeders will provide all genetic test results for the sire and dam and be able to answer questions about heredity problems in their breeding stock for several generations back. > 7. Breeders shall supply vaccination worming and health records for buyers. > 8. Breeders shall honestly disclose genetic and potential faults of their puppies as well as their strengths. > > In addition our Dundee location is privileged to have one of the better known trainers in the area running this event. We believe that overall, our standards are outstanding, and that we are committed to the welfare of the animals. > > Shelley > > Email tracking number: 414501 > > --------------------------------------------------------------- > Cabela's Customer Relations > > Customer Relations: Mon - Fri (6 am to 6pm); Sat (8 am to 3pm), MST > Toll Free Ph # - 800-237-8888 (U.S./Canadian residents) > Direct Fax # - 308-254-6745 (U.S. residents) > 308-254-7345 (International residents) > Order Department: (24 Hours per Day, 7 Days per Week) > Toll Free Ph # - 800-237-4444 (U.S./Canadian residents) > Toll Free Fax # - 800-496-6329 (U.S./Canadian residents) > Direct Fax # - 308-254-2200 (International residents)
