The big thing today, is that these brokers are telling people that they have family overseas that breed and send them the pups to find families in the US. It's not true. They buy them cheap from mills and then sell them high here to US buyers. Secondly, you want to avoid breeders like the one you listed, that sell many different breeders including designer breeds. If you're open to the so called designer breed which they give fancy names to but in reality are simply mutts or as I prefer to call them mixed up pups, please then consider adopting. A nice place to start to look for your friend (Whether it be a pure breed dog or mix) is Pet adoption: Want a dog or cat? Adopt a pet on Petfinder. If you are open to adopting you will not only provide a home for a dog in need but also save a whole lot of money. On average to adopt is about $350 -400 and that includes the shots, vetting, as well as the spay or neuter. That is a big savings. If you are not open to adopting then please stick around and look for good leads for reputable breeders. There are many here that can lead you in the right direction. Elaine.
