Like you say the websites show cute poses of puppies, and people actually believe that they are getting that particular dog, this isn't the case, you just get a dog, and the pictures could be years old. Don't buy from a pet store or website or you are condoning the torture of millions of dogs. You need to convince other to actually see where the puppies are being raised in order to stop this.

OH OH - now i have to disagree with part of what you said - now mind you its just part - I am totally against pet shops and puppy mills BUT
a large part of my buyers start with a picture via my website and then if they are approved as a possible parent , we move on to email pictures and on and on - And the pictures of puppies are taken the same day they are sent.
Not years or months before. I use a website due to where i am located in a very rural north Florida area.
Please don't generalize like that against anyone who has a website- I know that if you poll my many puppy owners they will have to tell you that when they were getting pictures of the baby every week or so and then got their real live baby , that it definitely was the same puppy - No they do not all look alike and each has definite differences.
To generalize against any breeder that has a website is no more fair than for me to say anyone that contacts me and doesn't want to make a long trip until the baby is ready to go to its new home , must be a scammer of some kind or perhaps i hear of one person that lives in a certain area and they mistreated a dog so i should never sell to someone that comes from that city or what ever . You have to be careful when you lump everone into a group because if i would discriminate against someone based on what someone else had done, then i would be most unfair.

There now i have had my say
