Why do reputable breeders breed dogs if it isn't for the money? Because they TRULY care about dogs and bettering the breed. It is their hobby and thir passion. Isn't that where you'd like your future pet to come from? A loving and caring home? I'm telling you, my little pug dog has had anxiety issues and is extremely timid because she came from a puppymill. This is something that she's NEVER outgrown. Yes, these dogs deserve to be loved too, but as the poster above said...you are just contributing to the never ending cycle of these puppymills by giving them the opportunity to produce more dogs. When their source of income is gone is when they'll finally be forced to quit mass producing these puppies. |
Well to be honest one of the reason was because the lady told me that i could pay 100 a month for the dog and I know with the breeder I will have to pay all the money right then and I rather pay that amount of money over a long period of time than at once. But I totally understand what you guys are saying about the puppy mills.
