My knowledge (such as it is) of mills and backyard breeders is more from the guinea pig world than the dog world---and I have seen and heard some HORRIFIC cases. This is why I just have a knee-jerk reaction when I hear about people "saving" a puppy from a pet store. It just sickens me to think about ENABLING and lining the pockets of these kinds of breeders. (and I don't even think they deserve the name "breeder") |
