I don't know. Billy Joel got a puppy from a woman in NJ. That woman breeds many different breeders byb. My neighbor just got a puppy from this lady (not happy with that either) and she said the breeder has his picture with the pup up in her house as advertisement. I think sometimes celebrities don't think or don't care. Like many non-celebrities they just want what they want when they want it and where it came from or how the parents are cared for makes no difference. I'm not sure whether this breeder gave a pup away for publicity or not but educating someont can't hurt. Whether she knew it came from a byb / puppymill or not no one will ever know but if it's brought to her attention and she still chooses to support that place by allowing her picture to be left up on the site then that's a different story. No one can afford bad publicity and that push of knowing other know she bought a pup or was given a pup in exchange for her picture being on the site may be enough for her to contact the breeder and have it taken off.
