I actually think they are making the Pet Dealer catagory so they can get more information from people who work as puppy brokers. There are a lot of people who act like they are small breeder who don't breed at all, but are actually puppy brokers, and it's a serious problem. |
I dont want to be labeled as a "pet dealer" either. In fact, I dont want a label. I just want to be me. Known as a reputable breeder of Yorkies that exhibits them to improve her breeding program. That does sell puppies that dont fit the criteria for a show/breeder prospect, but will otherwise make a great pet. A person who is always learning about the issues of her breed of choice.
