I also asked to see pictures of the parents which I believe someone else asked as well, but was told he is unable to get pictures from Korea. I'm sure like I am you are aware that this is the big thing now. Brokers buying pups from out of country. It's cheaper. And, the only reason they are not sold at 6 weeks or 8 weeks is because they cannot be shipped legally until a certain age, although I do believe that too can be fudged. If you ask those that sell from out of country why they do it etc. the answer they all have is "My family has a beautiful farm there and they raise blah blah blah." These dogs are crammed into containers and driven sometimes hours or days before they reach the destination to be shipped. They are then put on a long plane trip (Think of how long a trip from Russia to the USA or Korea to the USA). After they are cleaned up and put out to sale. Some are getting big bucks - others are selling mixed pups for $800 - if they are able to sell that cheap then you know how much they pay for the pup from overseas and why they buy from other countries. And, if you think our puppymills are bad think how they are in a country where there are barely laws to protect people let alone animals. Elaine |
Just think of the conditions that the people live in in that country and then just think of the conditions the dogs must live in. I cant believe that there are actually people in this world that are so uneducated that would buy any of these puppies.
