We got our little Tina from a woman in Missouri just under two years ago. When my boyfriend went to pick her up, he saw (and took pictures of) about 100 yorkies and other small breeds in small chicken wire cages in a barn. When we had paid for Tina, we kept trying to contact the breeder about when we could pick her up, she avoided us for almost a week! He finally drove out there to pick her up, and she still didn't want to give up our dog! She finally let go, but she was really rude. So, once we brought our little girl home, she disappeared off the face of the 'net! I haven't been able to locate her online for over a year, but today, I tried again and ran across her website. She has over 10 females and five males that she breeds listed on her site, and WHO KNOWS how many more that she doesn't show online. Anyway, our dog has had SEVERAL genetic problems, and hasn't ever been in good health because she was such a runt, but I'd NEVER return her to the conditions she came from! So, what can I do about shutting her down? I never really realized what horrible conditions she was raised in until I saw posts on here of other puppy mills, and I thought, that looks exactly like where she came from!!! I guess my question is, what can someone do about a puppy mill that they know exists? I've got her address, website, and phone number. Would the ASPCA go out there if we reported poor living conditions? I know that in some cities and states it is illegal to own that many dogs. Well, anyway, here is the link to her site. Let me know what y'all think about it!
