I am also totally against puppy mills AND large commercial breeders (though several people on here continue buying from them) You may end up with a cute pup, but the parents are left behind in awful living arrangements. http://www.shilohshepherds.com/puppy...erMatrixv4.htm |
Very true, The backyard breeders don't even take the parents in for testing before they breed, they just put them together and let them have puppies. Its so sad, yes the test cost money, but they are risking not only the Mom, but the litter too without the tests. You can't expect to get a healthy puppy,
from backyard breeders or puppy mills.
