 Karen
You are right..and I think I am wrong to say she was an example.
What happened in Karens's home is not rare. I do not in anyway agree with the condition her dogs..but I have seen so many just like her..the only reason they are not in prison is because no one has caught them.
I am told I am too hard on breeders...maybe so...but I have seen many reputable pet and show breeders who would be in prison if the public saw their conditions.
I have had as many as 25 Yorkies at once...I was with them 24/7 and had no life...so when someone tells me they have 30 or 40 dogs, and no kennel help, I know these dogs are not in tip top shape..as to dental care and grooming.
One reason breeders get in toruble is they do not place retired dogs..I know it looks like a breeder does not love their dogs to breed them and get rid of them...but a friend had 17 retired Yorkies and refused to let one go to a great pet home..so all 17 spent their entire life in a kennel waiting to die.
I was told Karen has quite a few old dogs..I do know her situation scared the crap out of alot of show breeders and they made some changes..thank you for your post... |
