I felt so bad for the girl who's puppy got hit by a car and the last thing she needed was for anyone to scold her for not having the pup on a leash. It was an accident and she felt horrible enough without someone giving their condolences then jumping on her. I couldn't believe my eyes! I was also embarrassed to admit I had a store bought pup because I fell in complete love with her at first sight and didn't know anything about puppy mills at the time. Other than that I really have had a great time reading and learning from this great group of people. Thank you YT! |

So both of you have experiences that will help you to teach others about the dangers of buying from places that don't have the best interest of the puppies at heart and are only all about the money. But who better to teach than those who have been down that road already and know the perils and pitfalls?
I also believe that both of you would be able to teach it in a manner that would be well received instead of resentd and that's what's needed most. It's rather hard to educate someone after they have gone out the door and shut it behind them?
So I hope to see both of you posting to the others that may be sonsidering this avenue and by sharing your experiences, you may save someone heartache.
To both of you!
