It would seem to me that the buyer should be checked out before everyone starts offering up females for her to breed. Again, no offense but I'm rather bothered by this. Elaine |
No offense taken but first off , what puppy mill would be willing to work out with the breeder a price of a puppy over $500.00.
From what I have seen about advertisements concerning puppy mills, the add for puppies could include champion even if the pedigree includes a champion ions down the line.I haven't seen them looking into buying up quality puppies.
Don't you think the buyer and the breeder would go into detail about both of their back grounds so the breeder before selling a pup would be convinced the puppy is going to a good home. Just because someone answers an add does not mean that puppy is sold. I would think both parties would invest some time in conversation . I have found some good information concerning disreputable breeders etc. from this website. The only flaw I see to this venue is a small breeder does not have to register if they have less then 5 dogs in their kennel. So unless you get to know someone personally or know someone who knows them, what guarantee do you have they are who and what they say they are. You have to be careful and investigate and have faith you make the right decisions. So your dogs aren't the ones that suffer down the line.
