I think of a back yard breeder as someone less sinister though feel free to criticize them all you want, they are not the same as puppy mills. If I remember the title of the thread correctly, it is Oprah Show....Puppy mills and that is what the heck I think this is about. |
But also on Oprah it was mentioned if I remember correctly was to adopt from a resuce or to buy from a responsible breeder so whether it was just about puppymills the show also kinda opened the door to something outside a puppymill....some of those "BYB's" buy from puppymills and go from there...so actually the show was open to interputation JMO
It was also about adopting or buying responsibly so again it opens the door to many things
I hope that made sense...
I put an unethical byb in the same catagory as a puppymill with just as much less regard to health and the dogs. Same thing! Cruel is Cruel and cranking out puppies whether it be in a puppymill or someones backyard same thing...Large or small scale...
