I went with a friend of mine to look at a Great Dane puppy yesterday and the lady had a 14 week old Yorkie that she had just bought.. We began talking and I noticed one of its eyes seemed to be infected and its hair was really coarse and "dingy". I asked her where she got the pup from and she told me a lady in *** *** had TONS of them. (I remembered seeing her ad in the local paper that same day) The lady then began describing how the breeder had cages stacked 4 & 5 cages high and probably had 200 Yorkies, 50 chihuahuas and also several mixed breeds there. She said there were easily 400 dogs or more there. I came home and began looking at PuppyMill websites and just ended up going to bed in tears. I talked to my friend again and we are wanting to do something to shut this lady down. I'm not about being on the news or in the papers (I have a home daycare business....
) but thinking about all those dogs -- I want to do something. Has anyone ever had success with shutting a puppymill or backyard breeder down? Any suggestions? (I have read the "steps" on what to do , but wonder if anyone out there can shed some light on if it has actually worked. I actually lost sleep over this!! I loved on my babies even MORE after seeing the Charlize Theron clip with PETA..... I'll post the link to that if anyone needs me to. Its heartbreaking!
