I think there is never ever any reason for puppy mills ever and we would be fine if they no longer existed. There is absolutely no reason for a dog to be born with health problems that could be prevented if the parents had testing done. I think breeders can be bad breeders even if they are show breeders there is so much you have to look at not just if they show there dogs. |
Your right. Just most breeders that I met that show. Health test the dog. Follow Akc rules....keeping the pup 12weeks..not selling known unhealthy pups or under weight yorkies. Theres also home breeder who do this. Main thing is know what your buying. You pay more for a healthy dog= test cost $$, good vet care ect.. Or buy from a questionable breeder and pay more on vet bills to help the pup. But it's easier to find a Show breeder. Just go to the dog show. After knowing what I do now. I wouldn't buy from the newspaper ect.. Good breeders don't advertize. they don't need the business. JME/JMO
