I always had this conception of some breeders just going out to buy dogs, good ones, and not loving them, just using them to breed and keep in kennels. Even though their lines may have champions I think that they should be treated with the closeness that all babies need. When they don't, it makes me think they are just being used, and no one, not even animals should be treated like that, IMHO. I have seen major name kennels that I wouldn't buy a dog from because I don't like the way they are raised. I like the small breeders a lot better, and you still could find good lines that way...

I feel the same way.
