You've never seen the parents or their living conditions so you can't make a judgement about where they come from. In the words of another YTer, you are either for mills or against them. Pick a side and get off the fence. I've made my point and obviously you have your mind made up and will support brokers and therefore mills. I cannot let these posts go unchecked because this forum should be a resource for members who choose to learn.

As for drboolittle, I'm not on a "high horse" and I find it childish to resort to insults and name calling as you have done, ie. Suzy Cynical. What I find offensive is how a veterinarian could ever support or recommend a broker. I find it offensive that you don't realize that its not okay to make a living off of buying and selling dogs like they're property, buying low and selling high. That's exactly what this broker does. A broker is the same as a pet shop. I have always recommended finding a reputable breeder who has an absolute love for the breed and breeds for the betterment of the breed to find that next show dog, not for that next buck. Any breeder who's in it for the money cannot be breeding for the betterment of the breed. And no reputable breeder would ever sell their puppies to a broker because they care too much about their puppies and what happens to them. Maybe you missed the word reputable in my posts.

I never said you received a kick back. I have no I idea where you got that from.

As for shutting up, that's just rude, but as long as there are puppies being sold like property I will never shut my mouth! I have contacted my state and federal legislators to lobby for laws to stop mills and brokers/pet shops.
