I submit this is sooooooo incorrect. Puppy mills, byb's, brokers, resellers try to get away with as little overhead as possible...not many have an advertising budget and those that do, certainly do not want to be subjected to reviews for all to see. They fly low and slow and under the radar,,,,they are much more likely to come to sites like YT and post their litters for sale (we have all seen those "breeders" that you hear from once or twice every couple of years, JUST to list puppies, never contributing to any other posts with information, etc)....and oh by the way....breeders are being watched by local law enforcment, AKC, PETA, HSUSA, etc...to be certain they do not have an excess of breeding dogs, and that they are not producing over the limit of puppies....dishonest breeders are busting these closely watched parameters and therefore they want to remain as non descript and "invisable" as they possibly can. Reality is, THESE are the people that will drop off this ad site....not the breeders that have nothing to hide. I think we have a rare opportunity to actually work with people that are trying to do this correctly, and we have the opportunity to help them develop their site where it will actually benefit breeders as well as people looking for ethical, responsible breeders with integrity and accountability.
