Consider adopting an adult rather than buying a puppy, especially if you aren't going to purchase a puppy from a reputable show breeder. Don't put anymore money in the pockets of backyard breeders and puppy mills. If the demand dries up, the over production of puppies will stop.
And educate, educate, educate! Tell everyone the truth about pet shops and puppy mills and how backyard breeders are the real problem, not the puppy mills as they produce the vast majority of purebred dogs. |
Great post!! Be a responsible breeder! Educate always! Hopefully the bybers will die out by attrition. Maybe the mills will eventually go away also!
