But I also know that the Breeder I just recently purchased my female from does have a website and does sell on the internet. She has been breeding and showing for nearly 50 years. Her dogs are kept in her home and she is very overprotective of all the adults and pups. But she is in no way a BYB nor a puppymill. I am all for stopping these people who are out to make a quick $$$$ and that don't give a damn about the animals they are using but you can't say that all of the puppies for sale on the internet are from BYB or puppymills. It may be a small percentage but they are still there. I do agree that you should see the persons home and meet the pups face to face. but if you are determined to get that puppy them you should make the extra effort. Some people don't they just want what others have regardless. I'm not trying to cause any arguments. I just wanted to add that because i believe the small percentage of good shouldn't be tucked in with the larger percentage of bad |
I know what you are saying. I am just saying make sure you know the breeders backround before buying and to be careful when you are buying off line. Sorry if I did not make that clear before. I fully support what you are saying. Thank you for sharing your opinion and I do not think that you are being rude or starting an arguement. Now that think about it I did come across that way and did not mean to. Thank you for helping me realize that.
