My vet & grooming bills far exceeded what it would have cost me to buy a puppy from a reputable breeder. Which is why I'm always worried when people look to just buy the cheapest puppy they can find because it can come out costing them a lot more in the long run with the short cuts that a lot of BYB breeders take to breed.
I would never support BYB or puppy mills and I hope we can save as many people as possible from doing it!
I don't disagree that many have bought from these type of breeders before they knew better, but there is a difference in NOT knowing and knowing and supporting a BYB anyway! |
im not trying to make you feel bad or say you didnt get her out a bad situation but you still bought paid for a yorkie from someone that was truly a unethical breeder and when you did that you still supported them
how many times has that been posted on here
dont get the puppy at the store or the pm or the byb because you are still supporting them no matter how sad the puppy looks
