It is common practice for puppy mills and the brokers for puppy mills to meet prespective buyers some where other than their own property. Yes, you should be very fearful about health problems buying a pup out of a vehicle. The worst part, other than the way the dogs are abused, is that buying pups from them is helping them to continue their horrific treatment of the animals.
These people are very deceptive. Just like other types of abusers they look and act much like most other people. They have their story and they stick to it. They just don't want you to see how the animals are kept and the conditions that the poor creatures are in.
A reputable breeder will gladly invite you to their home and show you both parents so you know what to expect from your pup. They will show you their facilities and show you what kind of testing has been done on the dogs to prevent the breeding of genetic defects into their line. The popularity of small dogs has caused all kinds of shady breeding facilities to spring up throughout the country. Do your homework before you buy and please don't help support animal abuse. |
