By purchasing one of these puppies you are giving them a chance at a life they may have never had they started off a rough life and need a family that will nurse them back to health and love them. Both of my dogs are puppy mill puppies and one of them was sick when i got him but i took the time and loved and cared for each of them and now they are both healthy very energetic dogs. So maybe you should think about what good people are doing before you put them down and get your story straight before judge someone based on your own assumptions. |
Some people aren't being judgemental but are actually trying to help and educate others. You've bought two puppymill dogs that are just fine now, but how do you know they will be fine in the long run? I have a puppymill dog. See my thread
HERE where I've shared my experiences. At 7 yrs of age, my pug could hardly walk, and now that she's 8, I carry her everywhere she has to go. This is all because of a genetic condition that she has called spondylosis, which is a degenerative disease of the spinal column which leads to fusion and immobilization of the vertebral bones. She has lost feeling in 2/3 or her back and her two rear legs. She has lost control of her bladder and bowels. The vet said that in order for her to inherit this condition it is likely that both her Mom and Dad had spondylosis too. Puppymillers don't care to test for genetic disorders or for any problems really. They are in it for the money. The spondylosis only started to show at around 6.5 yrs of age. It has been awful for our family to watch our pet suffer the way that she has. Yes, we pretty much rescued her and gave her a chance at life by buying her, but we also freed up space for a new puppymill pup to be bred and sold. It's a never ending cycle if we don't all
stop buying from puppymills and irresponsible breeders.
I wish that I would have known then what I do now.
So you can tell us all to "shut your mouths" and call us "judgemental", but alot of us are speaking from the heart on a subject that we feel passionate about. My conscience won't allow me to just sit back and watch someone else make the same mistake that I did...not without sharing my experience first anyways.
