Well... They lie A LOT and spam people. I wrote my experience before. I bought my puppy from the cleanest (and a few mln expensive house, so I decided - this is just a hobby of rich woman) house I have ever seen, I didn't see any crates, just a few dogs walking on the grass. I did not see the parents (too bad - at that time I ALSO didn't know that this one is the biggest red flag of puppy mill), but was told that breeder is own the father of my puppy and he is on stud service right now.
To read more about this breeder, a puppy miller that recently was shut down and 600 !!! dogs were seized, read the topic "puppy mill raid".

Too many dirty secrets. You can visit house, even see the parents, but you might never see what left behind the doors. As I didn't see. And if you want to protect yourself, please educate yourself what reputable breeder is (topic "the true about puppy trade industry")

and again: i can tell this over and over again. No one reputable breeder sells online on regular basic. So please stop buying online, unless you really want to support morally bankrupt breeders
