I do think there are good breeders out there that have websites, but how can anyone be sure unless they see in person where the puppies are being raised? This is inconvenient, to be sure, but we all most make small sacrifices in order to stop puppy mills. Everyone buying from the Internet "think" they are getting a breeder just like you, but they are not. |
Thank you for that - You do not and never will find a pay pal button on my website - all buyers have to be interviewed and approved and then go thru my back ground check -
But every one should be made aware that if there are mutiple breeds and loads of puppies and the availiblity to click on a button and order a baby , they should run as fast as they can from that website as the seller is only interested in a few dollars and no regard for the welfare of that baby.
I think you know that some of us do way more to try to be sure of where our babies go and how they are going to be treated before there is a sale done. If i had to live on what i make from my puppies believe me I would be a whole lot skinnier if you get what i mean.
My vet is the only one that makes out on my babies.
Lets just keep trying to educate potential owners and help stop the puppy mills and unethical breeders as well as the high dollar pet shops that supposedly offer a guarantee , untill some one tries to collect then its another story about what that guarantee covers.
