Instead, all the new laws and restrictions are driving competent, ethical, loving, caring, responsible breeders out of business....and these "parking lot pups" are the types of puppies that will one day, be all anyone can hope to buy. What a sad day that will be........

That is sad. It is amazing how many byb there are out there. And this time of year. It seems like there is even more. Just in my paper there is a bunch. And as the weeks progress there will be almost a page full.

My dd just rescued a puppy for a rescue group near Chicago. The dog is some kind of mix, all the signs of poor breading and having been abused. My dd loves this dog and she did the right thing by getting her from a rescue group. She almost bought a yorkie from a pet store... I kept texting her pictures of puppy mill mommies and she walked out of the store. LOL.. she went from almost buying an overprice puppy mill yorkie to resuce of the most homely pup I have very seen. I am so proud of her!

I am proud of her too
