4. We picked Ollie up on February 18, 2005
5. I choose the breeder partly because of location, and because she had a 5 week old litter, and price.
By some peoples standards, Prarie View would be considered a puppy mill. she has several breeds and she keeps them in buildings outside of the house. I found the dogs to be clean and well cared for, eventhough the mothers with babies were kept in cages. I also found Connie to be a very caring person. She knew her puppies well and monitored their progress carefully. At the time that I got Ollie, she only had two other females in cages one had a litter and one was ready to have one.
She knew the breed standard and she answered all of my questions about her breeding program, and breeding in general.
I believe there are puppy mills
and then there are puppy mills
. I would not hesitate to buy from her again.
