Exactly my point. Not that it justifies a miller, but if you are not doing research, knowing what to look, what to avoid, checking references... then you are responsible for the situation as well.
It's not a matter of 'knowing everything' and I am NOT trying to imply that anyone is 'simple minded'
--those comments are a bit ridiculous and uncalled for.
It's to emphasize the importance of doing your research and being extremely selective in regards to the breeder when acquiring a dog. To keep others from making the same mistake.
