Thank you for the PM, madpuppymills...I appreciate what you said in your PM...I wish you had posted that in the open forum, after you tore me up out here, I certainly would have appreciated what you had to say to me, out here in the open. I do not know for the life of me why people who devote their lives to the well being of dogs, feel they have a moral obligation to use the word 'BREEDER', like it is a filthy word, that they want everyone to believe is used by the drudges of our society to scam and steal and gyp poor unsuspecting, uneducated, uninformed buyers. Not only is this soooooo wrong, it is unfair. Not only are you maligning SOME very honest, respectable, responsible breeders, who care every bit as much as YOU do about where our babies go and how they end up, you are making people that WANT TO PURCHASE A PUPPY FROM SUCH A BREEDER, feel they are the lowest, stupidest, most selfish, most uninformed idiots of society for doing so. This is so wrong of people to do this. All MY intention was in addressing the OP, was to express a concern to her that she pursue this through legal channels, and not risk breaking the law which if this woman chooses to fight over, the OP may very well loose. Then the one person that was trying to do good for a sick baby, has blown the chance she had to effectively do something, within the legal boundaries of the laws of that State, to draw attention to this person she feels she needs to shut down. And it ALWAYS comes back to being "a breeder"...so, as a "breeder", (OMG! there is that filthy word again) I am not allowed to encourage someone to choose to fight an injustice done to her, legally with follow through, rather than buying a puppy, stopping payment on the puppy and then not even bothering to go after the offender in the courts. I, (even though some think of me as nothing more than one of those "nasty, filthy, scum of society breeders") have more integrity than that....I just encouraged her to fight LEGALLY, so she could do some good in a battle to close down this woman....but ooops...let ME shut up, because I am a "breeder" and as such, I can not possibly care about my beloved little babies, my girls or my boys, my new borns, or my program, my ethics or my goals or anything else to do with my dogs, because in the eyes of people like YOU, I am a "breeder"...akin to a leper, I guess and should be avoided at all cost. I am sorry you feel that way...but I will put my ethics and integrity up against yours or anyone elses, anytime....I just happen to believe in paying for ANYTHING I buy, regardless of how stupid a mistake it turned out to be. I will then seek a LEGAL remedy for my mistake, through the court system, where the REAL damage can be done to the person that I believe scammed or took advantage of my gullibility. My only question is, will this person now drag the "breeder" that scammed her and sold her a sick puppy, into court for public exposure, where she can be judged by a law abiding society...I doubt it...she got her puppy, she didnt pay for it, so "the end justifys the means"...I guess some people "honestly" think the answer is to go "BUY" every single abused, mistreated sick puppy from every puppy mill in existance and then stop payment on the check? Is that REALLY the solution to this problem? As far as "Adopt...Dont Shop"...I encourage everyone that wants to do that, by all means do it...but if you DO choose to get your puppy from a breeder that is accountable for what she has spent years educating herself in, on lines, pedigree combinations, diseases, genetics, etc, then do not feel like you are less than worthy of respect from the rest of society for PURCHASING your puppy from a "BREEDER". And if you EVER buy a puppy from someone you think has scammed you, take them to court and get your money refunded by the court system, legally. THAT will do more damage to the scammer than you stealing a puppy from her.
