In Wheaton, MO there are dog auctions most weeks where millers come and buy/sell their canine breeding stock. They will sell and or buy ANYthing that is not dead or near dead. A female ready to drop a litter of pups bring premium prices. Last summer/fall there was an auction held in a high school auditorium in Ohio. Same set-up. Before security threw a person off the property (since they rented it it was considered as private property even though tax dollars pay for the schools). There were a minimum of 20 carriages in the parking lot with the horses tied on the other side of the lot No water was evident. Anyhow, as the auction got underway, in pulled trailers DRIVEN by hired drivers who loaded the dogs in crates in the un-air-conditioned trailers/vans. Yes, there certainly are MANY Amish millers who hire non-Amish to assist them in their dirty work by using the machinery they say they do not use.
Are all Amish that way? NO! Some don't breed dogs!!!
Now, can I prove this happened? No, unfortunately, my computer crashed and I lost EVERY single file on it..Would I swear it is the truth? You bet your a** I would. If you drive to Lancaster Co, PA and take a turn down a nicely kept dirt to a clean white farm house, you might find a dog breeder. Dirt roads and clean, white houses seem to be their trademark. Now, ask to see where the puppies and parents are kept. NOT GONNA HAppen!!
You are really lucky if you have or plan to get a puppy that is healthy from such people.
This, of course, is my opinion. It does not reflect the opinion of the adm or any other member on the forum.
