I found out one of the pups was from Still Kennels. So I called Still kennels and spoke to Gloria. She was very nice, I also sent her the Picture of her very sick puppy I bought. Since then we email eachother and became email friends. She is really not a bad person. taking care of that many dogs is alot of work and thier income. She really helped me when I welped my first litter of yorkes. She knows alot about breeding and welping dogs. Not all her dogs are sick. sometimes in transport they get sick and being with other puppies weakens thier immune system. Now do not get me wrong-I do not support puppy mills. But when it comes down to it she is a wonderful and caring person. |
I dont know if you have ever been to this kennel but wonderful person or not, (and I am not saying she isn't) Doesnt change the fact that they have 5 breeds of dogs and many sires and dams and many many litters at a time. They sell to pet stores. and they practice inbreeding. My puppy to my horror was the product of breeding a brother and sister. If you read my past post on this thread you will see my experience.
