You are right. I do want to defend these people and it was a little bit of a snarky remark you made saying that as if I am clueless which I'm not.
I think it is horribly unfair to lump everyone who has a usda license into a group and say every single one of them has a puppy mill mentality.
Even worse, I think that by doing that people will use that list as their 'puppy mill bible' and seek out someone not on the list and inadvertently purchase from an unlicensed breeder that may very well be the people you are trying to ward off.
I think it would be a perfect world if breeders did every one of those tests on the dogs they breed. If it's so important then it should be a requirement. |
