| Could we please have I'm wondering if we could please have a sticky on pet stores & puppy mills -- something that would educate people. I started a thread last night about the history of puppy mills maybe this could be a starting place. Also, a new member asked in the last few days for a set of questions on questions to ask a breeder & how to find a reputable breeder. Myfairlacy did a great job coming up with a list. Could this be a sticky too? Or could we do some type of combination? So many people come to YT looking for information before they actually buy, I think this would be a great service for YT to provide.

| I think a sticky on petstores/puppymills would be great! And the questions is a good idea too...the ones I posted were just the ones I came up with one night..I'm sure some could be added to it. A lot of people ask how to find a reputable breeder and what question to ask though so that might be helpful

| I also think this is a great idea. And, IMO, an additional benefit is that the stickies aren't "passionate". They are fact filled and will never become heated. They won't turn people off - the information will sink in better for some.

| I think this is a great idea!!! I have been trying to think of ways to help get the word out more about pet stores and puppy mills. I would love to be able to find out where some of these stores get their puppies.
