Don't feel bad...you can't help what you don't know. I know Lacy didn't come from a good breeder...I knew about puppymills but I didn't really know anything about backyard breeders. If no one has ever told you about something or you haven't learned it from somewhere, you can't be responsible for not knowing something. It's what you do once you know that matters...once you learned about puppymills and how bad they were, you did something about it - you got that lady shut down and saved all those babies! So don't be mad at yourself or feel guilty at all...you did a great thing
