These people operate in the shadows and off the radar....the people that get caught up in "sweeps" and "crack downs" and shut downs, are the reputable breeders....just ask Clover Hill Yorkies about the jack booted thugs from the government that swarmed her home and thank God she "knew" some influential people that were able to hold these people at bay, or they would have shut down her very legitimate breeding business, and confiscated her show dogs.....and thank God she had the financial where with all to flee to another State with her show kennel/dogs, buy some property and set up her LEGITIMATE business in another State....but the people they NEED to be going after, operate all under the radar and out of sight....and more and more of these puppy mill breeders are dumping their pups into pet stores....and nothing is done about pet stores....they spend all their time trying to ruin and close down legitimate breeders, the "easy to pick" fruit, and dont waste time or money trying to root out the REAL villians.....you will never shut down pet stores....you need to go after the people hiding in the woods, selling from their car trunks, flea markets, out of boxes at store parking lots, etc.....THAT may drive all these trashy thugs to selling their pups at pet stores....and eventually, pet stores will be forbidden from peddeling live animals....
But as long as people continue to buy from pet stores and from the side of the road and out of the trunk of cars, supporting trash that sells cheap yorkies, because THEY have nothing invested in their dogs, the problem will flourish....
