| is that kennel a puppy mill? Guys, what do you think is that kennel a puppy mill or not? http://www.sasquehanna.fr.pl/index9.htm red flags: too many breeds and too many dogs. However, many show breeders from abroad think that this kennel has a very good reputation in "show world" . I'd prefer to do a poll to see how many people think that this is a puppy mill, but don't know how... |

| I do not think it's a puppy mill. The breeding quality of the dogs is excellent. |

| I dont know if it is a puppymill or not. I would have to see the place and see how their dogs are treated and housed. I personally wouldnt buy from a place like this because there are way too many breeds and dogs and there is no way they can be kept inside the house and get one on one attention and be well socialized. I prefer to buy from a small breeder where the dogs are kept in the house and treated as part of the family. |

| Puppy Mills Hi all, I have personally have seen a puppy mill, not realizing it at the time. Lots of dogs with puppies, cages somewhat clean on sunporch. Others just roaming around the house that was not very clean. But........when we pulled up you could hear hundreds of dogs barking in pens ourside and out of site. I did foster for yorkies thru our local area rescue. The gal that runs the rescue told me it was a puppy mill. She said you do not see the abused dogs that are in pens outside, dirty, not fed, over bred etc. This site is of professional breeders and have well cared for animals, they also show several breeds. I do not think this one is puppy mill. I would buy a pup here .... but they do not have yorkies and thats the only kind I want. Show breeders do not abuse their dogs, they are too valuable to them. |

| How do they know each of these breeds well enough to be able to determine those that are show quality? I just cannot imagine being an expert on 15-20 breeds..knowing the standard by heart...knowing what to genetically test for..etc. How do they keep these dogs from interbreeding and show all of them? I just don't think this seems feasible. They must have a huge kennel set up. The dogs do look well cared for an appear to be shown on their site. The main thing I wonder is how in the world they can show and breed so many breeds and do it the right way...bettering each of these breeds.
