They led me to the room the puppies were kept in. It was visible from the entry door. The room looked and smelled clean. There were about 5 or 6 large cages with a 2-3 puppies in each. They were hopelessly adorable and very healthy looking. They were not very active but this didn't seem alarming to me. I was looking for a very small puppy at the time but they didn't have one that quite suited me so they let me know that new litters were coming all the time. I'm not sure from where. I told them to let me know when they got a smaller one and they referred me to the website because they keep it updated frequently. The small ones go fast. =) |
Most likely the puppies were coming from puppymills or other bad breeders. This is generally were puppy brokers get their stock.
If this breeder has new litters coming all the time, that tells me they are breeding for profit only and are making a living off the backs of innocent animals, again not what I consider ethical.
An ethical breeder will not breed for "small ones" instead will breed to standard. Occasionally a reputable breeder will have a small or tiny pup, but they never strive for that type.
OP....I don't need first hand experience but rely on my knowledge of this breed and a breeder's ethics to determine who I consider reputable.
