Before assuming all people are stupid out buying mill puppies-maybe get to know them a little. As is my case I do know the owners of my dogs parents even if from an "evil" pet store, I do know the entire history of their store since the day it was opened, I do know the owners well enough that I do trust them 110pct.
Im not about to be taken by some breeder again-ever. It was an expensive experience in my wallet and my heart. Crying daily for 4 months-knowing I couldn't keep my dog in my residential neighborhood and around my kids, knowing I had to send him somewhere safe for him. I cried for hours everyday for 4months-I paid for paying a "show line"breeder with all the nice little plaques, awards, letters of recommendation. I paid with a piece of my heart that will never be returned-you see I loved that dog deeply, the school I took him to to keep trying to socialize him said they had never seen a dog so proud to be with his owner nor loved his owner as deeply as my dog loved me. We were as bonded as it gets. I will never recover from that experience, I will never have that void filled as it has been several years and it hurts just as much as back then, I have been scarred-so yes I am anti breeder unless I know them well or someone I trust knows them well. I will never again be the fool. |
Hi - I posted against pet stores - but DID say that I commend you on how you went about it and congratulated you on your new puppy ...and I sincerely meant that -
It's not a witch hunt to want animal abuse to stop. It can't be said enough that Mills sell to Pet Stores... and In no way are people stupid - many are just unaware of how those puppies get to those stores....
and yes - this IS a subject that should have been in it's own thread - I agree - and I apologise if this affected you in any way - Please try to ignore the pm's I'm sure your getting - this is a nice site and we ALL are here out of love for our pets.
congratulations again on your new puppy - having a yorkie puppy is the best !
