Education is the key :When I moved here more than a year ago, I used to go to the pet stores to look at the puppies,this is before I had Beatrice.I didn't realize then that those puppies came from puppy mills.When we decided to get a puppy we knew that we wanted to get one from a reputable breeder. The funny thing is the prices for yorkies at the pet store were about $ 200 more than what we paid for Beatrice.I could tell the difference in the quality of the puppies too.So, you know they're jacking the prices way up from what they pay for the puppies.The breeder that we bought Beatrice breeds and shows champions here in Canada, and her prices for well bred puppies, that we know their heritage of, are lower than the pet stores.
So, I guess my point is.............EDUCATION.........If people knew that they could buy a better quality,healthier and well cared for puppy that the breeder can proves it's pedigree......why not buy from a breeder ?
Also, they can always cotact the breeder when they have questions regarding anything that might seem abnormal, or just for info. |
