I bought Bella from a backyard breeder. He breeds several types of dogs, all small. I believe he cares for these dogs, they showed no signs of abuse or neglect. Their areas were kept clean, they were well fed, watered, had plenty of room to run around and play. But clearly, you cannot take good care of so many animals. He's truly an ignorant man. And I don't think he knows any better.
Did I get that sick feeling, thinking these dogs were being mistreated? Not at all. But now I know where to buy or adopt a dog from and I would never buy from a backyard breeder or a puppy mill. |
