Sorry, I tried to edit my post to include this but 1. it was too long between posts and 2. The info. was so lengthy it did not fit so I'm editiing it down to the main point and that is where these pups are coming from. See Below.

After looking at NJ Collie Rescue’s PetFinder listings, I am in complete agreement with Eileen that Vicki Patterson is acting as nothing more than a puppy mill broker. Her adoption prices are ridiculous and prohibitive – ($750!!!) I’ve never heard of any rescue ever charging this much. I also agree with Eileen that when rescuers obtain dogs from puppy mill auctions, the majority of them are retired breeders, older dogs and not puppies, especially 8 week old puppies! I saved the pictures and descriptions and found something VERY interesting: some of Vicki’s pictures are superimposed with “K-Jac’s Kennel” – K-Jac’s is a USDA-licensed commercial kennel, aka a puppy mill from the biggest puppy mill state in the country, Missouri - and they are selling all the breeds on Next day Pets and their own website that NJ Collie Rescue says it “saved from auction” - for as little as $175 – $250!!! My suspicions are that Vicki Patterson is buying puppies from Kara Crass of K-Jac’s, having them shipped to NJ (Newark Airport) selling them under the guise of rescue and adoption, and still making a huge profit on them. The pictures are identical to the ones on K-Jac’s website. (Links provided at the end of this email). Either that or she is using K-Jac’s pictures and possibly buying PA puppy mill puppies for resale. When it comes to brokers, nothing surprises us anymore.
