Jen would never post to scare anyone & she's giving you very good advise. She's had alot of experience with Ivan ....
We're all glad you have a healthy dog - no one would ever want anything but that - but ...maybe you didn't realize the whole story about S&V. As long as I've been here I haven't heard very many good things about them at all. I know Jen did alot of research into this place and she
used to think the same way you do ...We WANT to believe people when we're buying a puppy that what they say is true about their operations - but the sad truth is - with that many breeds and dogs - there's just no way he breeds himself and Jen has the paperwork to prove it. It would be so bad for his business if he was honest and up front and said
"HECK yes - I get all my dogs from puppy mills" although I wish it was a law they HAD to disclose that. It's not and ANYONE can buy dogs from a mill
Petland is a prime example of that and the biggest Puppy Mill customer out there.
and THEY don't tell people that fact either.
