My dog is APRI, I didn't know anything about these places until I had her at home and I bought her from a lady at 1.5 years old. The lady I purchased my dog from had bought her when she was a pup from some BYB, when I called them and spoke to them, 1. They didn't even have MOM OR DAD any more. They said they don't ship their pups out to families and they don't usually sell their puppies to people unless they can come to their home and get them, BUT THEY DO SELL THEIR LITTERS IN BULK TO PET STORES AND BROKERS.
Would I of bought this dog if I knew where she was coming from and her backround, NO I wouldn't of. I love her to death and she is a great pet, most loving dog I have ever owned, so gentle and everything else you would look for in a personality of a dog. BUT HEALTH WISE, it has not been that great. Never again though! I will only buy my next dog from a good breeder with American Kennel Club registry OR Canadian Kennel Club registry.
Not all breeders do it for the money, sure alot of them do but not all have that mind set. I would LOVE to have a litter of pups, infact we are looking into breeding our Bull terrier, but not for money, simply for the fact we love the breed, it's very hard to find these pups around where we live and I LOVE PUPPIES. Of course our bullie is AKC reg. because I stressed the importance of this to my hubby when he was looking
