I understand wanting to know that the puppies were raised well, but I think there are other ways to determine that. Getting to know the breeder, seeing how he/she responds to your questions, seeing what kind of questions they ask you for example. Also a good health guarantee for the puppy. If it is a show breeder, there should be a track record for their dogs as well. JMO

That is so very scary !!!!
I guess our "own" breed is not been always getting better.
So unfortunate but you are right. you have to watch out for your family first. And your life.
What society is coming to?
