There really is a conflict in that.
Good breeders really have enough to do, don't they? The pet buyer should be the one responsible for putting mills out of business, let not throw another responsibility on the good breeder. The good breeder isn't really breeding to supply the public with pets; they really feel like they have something to offer the breed. If all you want is a pet, there are plenty of them out there already. I'm not against commercial breeding, it's just that in order to do it properly, they would have to charge way more than what the public wants to pay for a dog. As long as people see cheap dogs as "good deals" millers will stay in business.
