| I'm glad a lot of people saw this today. Hope it stops sales and if the authorities can't stop them, maybe the people can! |

| I'm glad you posted this. There is another thread w the link on also. I cannot believe the dishonesty behind this. Calls are taken through a call center in Florida and scripted to sound like the pups are coming from a local breeder, while really this is a broker shipping pups from puppy mills. Supposedly he is making $20 million a year off of the backs of these poor pups.

| Im glad they showed this. That is the problem about buying online unless you personally know the breeder you could really be buying a puppy mill pup. I hope we see more shows showing this

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Yes I watched the video, but even on their website there were red flags. No breeders actual kennel names were used, multiple breeds, Lifetime warranty offers a "replacement" puppy, etc. It is so depressing. On one hand, the more the info gets out there, the more the public knows what to look for; however that information is then also available to the scam artists; who put their devious money hungry brains to work, to improve website design; train receptionists, create associations of like minded folks, who then issue themselves Pedigree Breeder of Merit awards, yada yada yada!
