 This Question Has Been Nagging at Me.
Ok I have been a member here for a while and have wanted to ask this since I first joined. I have been reading the breeder referel section and it came to my mind again. First let me say I am all for buying from reputable breeders and doing all we can to shut down puppy mills, but my question is....aren't there show breeders who also keep their dogs in Kennels? I know when we were younger and had poms for our babies we bought them from a wonderful lady who raised and showed her dogs and she had a Kennel. Albeit a very nice airconditioned, and heated one with seperate area's for each of her 4 dams and sires. Each had their own doggie doors with large covered runs etc. The place was emaculate. That all being said don't some Show breeders also have kennels and are considered respectable? I know Anita loved her dogs and was very proud of her lines and they were absolutely beautiful well behaved puppies. |
