I don't see anyone on here trying to 'one up' on each other?
There is great love and passion for the breed on here, so puppymill issues and BYB will always cause some discussions to get a bit heated...we are here to educate and advise through personal experience...many members on here themselves got a puppymill or BYB puppy before they found YT...so all they are trying to do is to stop others from making the same mistakes they did and to save you pain and heartache, and if we all spread the word perhaps eventually these places will be closed for good...
Here in the UK, in just the last few days, our national news have been looking at puppy farms and the large pet stores that they supply to....they secretly filmed in one particular puppy farm and it was just horrendous...heartbreaking...the conditions that the mothers and puppies were living in were disgusting...dirty, cramped, no bedding to snuggle in..or toys to play with...one puppy was lying motionless...it had probably died from an infection...so you see how bad these places CAN be...is it any wonder people get so upset.
They interviewed people that had purchased puppies from these stores and so many of their dogs had died at young ages through poor health.
Once again Rachel...i'm sorry you feel people are getting at you but also try to understand why that is....and i hope you stick around, make new friends here and learn as much as i have done...goodluck with your puppy...and don;t forget to post lots of pictures to share with us.
