It's not to say that a breeder has not produced one of these puppies, but one would not breed them, they should be altered and "placed" in a loving home. Not captilized on them and sold as rare. |

And this is why, as a buyer who "didnt really care" initially about going to a YTCA breeder, is really glad she stumbled on that road. I guess we all differ in our view of "ethics." And I'm glad I had the resources to take care of this dog so another one did not end up as a throwaway in rescue. |
Too bad that it all falls on deaf ears. Greed is all that motivates some people.
