it was a kennel {mill} in Maine,the breeder would allow young females or males she liked but didn't have room for {trust me she didn't}that she wanted puppies from. She called it a breeders terms. you'd take her bitch or male,as soon as the female came into heat you'd bring her back to be bred. She'd let you take the female homeyou'd pay for all the care,vet or other wise of this dog til two weeks before she was due,to which you'd bring her back and she'd keep Mom and puppies til the puppies were six weeks old. Inwhich she'd call you to get your dog back. {she'd spay it or demand another litter} the little dog was yours finally after all that time. Males she would have six breedings from and he was neutered and yours. Papers and all. I did not know at all about mills then. It was almost 20 years ago. But I remember how this person showed dobermans,min pins,chihuahuas,toy poodles,german pinchers. And was the local animal control officer to boot. Everyone except the big guys lived 24/7 rabbit cages stacked. I did this for a tiny 2 pound female chi. Kimmy was to have four litters and she was mine. Kimmy died the first litter due to being overbred. She was four. That breeder tried to accuse me of not caring for her. My Vet said otherwise. I had Kimmy for eight months. Durring that time she learned what grass was,what toys were,what other foods were then puppy chow.
