Believe me when you get there, if you go, YOU will know, SO many out there are puppy mills, I know I live min's away from them, and have witnessed them,and done everything in my power to stop what they are doing. There is a Holmes County Auction every Sat, where they auction off their PRODUCTS, there have been letters written ( including mine) to our local paper trying to bring about awareness of what they are doing. During these auctions the dogs and pups are stacked high on semis in freezing cold weather just waiting for their moment to go on the auction block to the highest bidder. Often there are picketers there.

It is all about the money to them, not the dog, or the standard the dog should be, or how the mothers are treated, bred every heat cycle, till they can produce no more, and are then killed or die on their own, or they are sold at a discount!

Please research this on the net, there are SO many article including pictures, that you can not even fathom. I went to a breeder, in Holmes county to try to see what I could, needless to say he did not let me in the HUGE pole barn where the dogs were, he had 10 breeds listed in his ad, in the Bargain Hunter, which is full of ads they place every week. He wanted 1,000 for a male and 1,200. for a female, I asked, if I was going to pay that kind of money I need to see how they live and their parents,, he said, He couldn't because his wife wasn't home... What?! Anyhow, I spoke my mind to him, and left. He still has an ad in every week.

My neighbor bought a Boston Terrier from the Amish, she has over 8,000 in vet bills and the dog is 2 years old, bad breeding.

Please Dont buy from the Amish. Please.
