  Yes and while your at it if you see the kid next door being abused don't report it cuz hey they live long in to their teen years too...what you don't see won't hurt and go ahead perpetuate the problems of byb pups by taking a gamble...after all if your pup dies...you will get another one right?  Dear lord these are the people that I wish I could take on tour to a puppy mill..........
