I have a spoiled rotten example from one
Years ago when I got my very 1st yorkie I bought Rogan.
I went to their house to look at thier pups. The man brought them in from outside in a bucket. YES A BUCKET!!!) I ask to see the parents and was taken outside to this large fenced in area with like a barn. The dogs lived in the barn and there were all kinds just running around. He pointed at 2 of them and said there they are. (ahhh ya, ok?)
So I couldn't leave this pup, I had to take him. He WAS adorable.
He's now
neutered. weighs
15 pounds, (well maybe a bit more
he's been enjoying alot of treats lately) and after 2 different knee surgeries on both knees (
double surgery TWICE) for LP, he seems to be doing fine.
Oh and they didn't have AKC papers for the pups and they only charged $300 for males.
We love Rogan to death and wouldn't trade him for anything - but THAT to me, is what a BYB is.

I know what a puppy mill is ( or so i think atleast).. My idea of a Backyard Breeder is someone who raises there puppies out side and don't really care for them?? am i close? and a Puppy Mill... Someone who has tons of Dogs locked up and just breed them and pretty much don't have nothing to do with them?
Like i said i know this sounds like a stupid question but I really need to know... I mean i refuse to purchase a baby who lives in these conditions ... Altough i would wanna save a baby from it... |
