while i definitely understand the not buying puppy mill puppies, in the same since i had much rather see a responsible, compassionate adult get a baby like this than a group of kids that want to "pool their money and breed it". also, what happens to these puppy mill babies when they are never purchased? i can't possibly believe they keep them until chosen, after a certain age they must send them somewhere. it is a catch 22 situation.....while i COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND not supporting BYB and puppy mills, why must these little innocent babies suffer when someone feels moved to "save" one?

at the very least when someone is educated and informed, they have an idea what they maybe getting into. which is better than the non-informed spur of the moment "oh-let's-get-a-puppy" buyer who would eventually turn the baby over to a shelter because they don't want to deal with the issues. i didn't do my research and ended up purchasing two puppy mill babies from a local broker. when the realization of the type of person i was dealing with came to light, i shared with him what a low-life scumbag (self-censored as not to offend) i thought he was and report him to any and everyone i could. both had issues with one dying 4 months after we got her and the other...i wouldn't trade her or her health concerns (MVD) for ANYTHING in the world. I suggest BAT's for all furbabies with questionable breeding. but i am neurotic.

Mom2Kobe, i hope you and Kobe enjoy your new addition and best wishes for a healthy, happy life for your furbabies. you must share with us the name you pick, when you do! CONGRATS!!! and God bless!
