Not ALL breeders are bad! There seems to be a misconception and it usually comes from these broad over generalizations. |
Kim I agree with some of what you are saying here. I too don't want anything that I have said to damage the reputation of good, honest hard working people. But the reality is that the reputation and documented cases of animal abuse & neglect that mill dogs are subjected to and the heartbreaking horror stories of ill or dying puppies, puppies that over priced, puppies that end up not being what the are represented as being is what has destroyed the reputation of the pet shop industry. Mills have contributed to the negative opinions that people have for pet shops selling puppies and kittens. Most pet shops obtain stock form the mills or brokers.
They have destroyed their own integrity.
