[quote=Ladymom;2581917]She certainly fits my definition of a backyard breeder. Remember, you don't literally have to keep your dogs in your backyard to be a BYB. Breeding pet quality dogs with no knowledge of genetics and no health screening makes a backyard breeder.
Here are a couple of good links:
Lawrence County Humane Society Abuse and Adoption Center
I just went thru my emails going back and forth with the breeder and I copied this word for word from one email that she sent to me:
then i mentioned to you that my aunt had a female gorgeous and breeding quality and both her parents little bigger than my litter and they produce puppies on the 6.0 pounds range.
We discussed all this.....I would have paid more money for better quality but I thought I was getting great quality at a discount because of the economy and because she had no expense for the litter because it was her stud....UGGGH!
