I hope some of you breeders rethink your position on this, you are making it so easy for large commercial facilities and puppy mills to mislead the public, and say, "You can't visit the premises because we aren't in the business of "selling puppies". Furthermore, how many times have you breeders been mislead by other breeders? It takes many different people working together to end the puppy mill situation, and I'm so disappointed when I hear someone making it that much harder for the average consumer to get involved. I don't care if someone shows or is a member of the YTCA. Before they hand over a dog, they should trust the person enough to allow them into their home. No exceptions. While I consider myself an advocate of good breeding practices, first and foremost, I consider myself an advocate for the dogs, how they are being bred, and what kind of homes they are going to.
