The dogs there must have their heart broken a dozen times a day as people pass by and don't even offer an ounce of human kindness or attention. How do I know this you ask? C'mon, common sense tells me that it's impossible with that many dogs to give each one the attention it craves. Cruelty in any form, to animals or humans, makes me sick to my stomach. Yes, I am horrified. |

I would never discount your concerns and I respect your opinion so I do not take them lightly. The kennel owner addresses your questions in his FAQ section.
Everyone:
I am not defending him. His operation simply does not fit my definition of a puppymill. He does not breed and breed and breed the females until they die. He
says he has strict policies on this. Maybe I am just naive, but I don't think so. I have a pretty good sense for when I am being decieved and I don't think this website is deceptive.
The puppymills I want to concentrate on stopping are the ones that mistreat the animals and have deplorable and filthy living conditions with wide spread disease and stagnant water bowls and no health care provided. I don't see that here. That is all I am saying.
This guy breeds only purebred dogs to get the hybrids. He does not keep any of the hybrid puppies produced for breeding. There are a lot of vets who will support his contention that purebred dogs have more health issues than mixed breed dogs.
I am as adamantly opposed to puppymills as anyone and I am passionate about putting them out of business. At first glance, this breeder does not look like a puppymill to me. I hope everyone can respect that this is just my opinion.
We have much
bigger and worse fish to fry....that's all I'm saying.
