You can be a very nice person and love animals, take great care of them but still be a bad breeder.
Joann gets her yorkies from Natalie. Does she have small cute dogs? Absolutely. Is she a responsible breeder? Absolutely NOT.
Here's the problem. There are puppies already born that yes, they need good loving homes. However, by buying puppies from these breeders you are encouraging them to continue what they're doing. I know Joann's breeding female of 4 lbs has been listed on Natalie's site for sale. I know that for 100% FACT. 4 lbs. We all know a 3lb something dog can be 4lbs just by having too many treats.
People who are breeding their pets to make extra money are not in it for the betterment of the breed, they are in it to supplement their income or live off their dogs. It makes money and the smaller, the more money.
I'm not saying Joanns dogs are not healthy. I just know the breeder she gets her breeding stock from does not sell healthy dogs. It's a risk some are willing to take. Others are not. Use your own judgment. |
