But this isn't entirely unheard of... I've known people that have gotten duped like that by breeders who appeared good, clean, knowledgeable, dogs were in with them and you couldn't see anything wrong-- but when they'd get them they'd find out sometime later they're born with an illness that could had been prevented.
A bad breeder can easily disguise themselves as a good breeder... Wolves in sheepskin clothing.... and once it's done they can't do anything about it legally because they'd have bogus loop holes like they dont guarantee against certain defects... |
I have seen some pretty amazing websites that the breeder ends up being apuppy mill. It would be nice if people would wake up and help starting banning puppy mills. I can't help but think it would cut back on the number of dogs that get euthanized each year.
