Yes..I was just saying it again! lol! I have worked with rescue and in animal hospitals in the past 20 yrs. and I have seen it all too! I did bring home alot of our past patients and ended up adopting them. I was very lucky to know breeders in Calif...but now that I am away and things have changed so much..it is not easy! I see both sides and I try to be neutral in most of my posts. If I came off as defensive I apologize. Being on the other side..as a person who is looking for a breeder it can be challenging. Money has never been the issue for me ( Thank God ) only health and history
