I will try to make this short as I have said enough....
Many yrs ago I was friendly with a woman who owned a pet shop in Camp Springs, MD. She was a very nice, ordered special food (ANF) for me..any product I could not find.
She wanted to sell my pups from her shop, but that did not sit right with me.

She asked me once if I would like to keep her company on a short trip to pick up some puppies from a couple breeders who supplied the shop. YOU BET!!!

The first place was just across the Maryland line in a small PA town. It was a rural area and we pulled up to a place that had three single wide mobile homes on it. The breeder was outside and openned the door of the first trailer...out came about 30 Yorkies, Pom, and Chi's so matted an dirty I barely knew what they were. Inside it was Africa hot..no AC..pens of screaming, barking pups..begging for a breath of fresh air. I could not put one foot in front of the other..I might as well have been in a concentration camp..total shock. The other 2 trailers were the same..there had to be 100 toy dogs in 3 small trailers...the owner did not even live onthe property!

The smell, the filith, the heat was awful..the urine burned my eyes so bad.
My friend crated up a couple dozen pups and we left.

The next place was worse...I had to go back to the van. She saw how upset I was..her response..."Welcome to the world of dog breeders!"
NO....I am a dog breeder, these people are uncaring, money hungry monsters.

I tried to stay friends with her, but everytime I went into that shop I started to cry.
There are times in life we must take a stand and b counted..count me Anti Pet shop.
