Its sad. But yet theres breeders saying dont buy from Petstores and turn around and sell their pups to Petstores..What I dont get is I hear this all the time Please do not Breed your female Just because you want another puppy.......Why put her in risk? But yet some of the people that are saying this are breeding their Females over and over. I ask why risk her life? I here there are to many unwanted dogs now ( Oh I agree with this 100%) So why are you breeding your females over and over? I hear I dont make one dime off these litters.............Then why risk your female and breed her to make puppies to sale if theres no money in it? If there are too many dogs now? Why chance it?Why make more? Oh and heres another one. DO NOT breed your female under 5 lbs. ( again I agree with this) But yet the same people that are saying this will turn around and post puppies for Sale very small Mommy 4lbs.........Or My friend has a litter of puppys They are very cute will be small both parents are under 5 lbs.......WTH ??? How can you preach one thing and do another? This is not aimed at anyone its just what I see on here all the time..It's crazy...and I have heard put a price on that puppy dont give it away. This way you will know that they really want it..
But I do agree with everyone these puppy mills need to be shut down, These poor dogs need to be loved not used and abused |
I agree with so much of what you say here! I too have been left very confused by the "do what I say, not what I do" attitude!! I know there are bad breeders out there who are not ethical and who don't care about anything but the money...I guess that I feel you have a better chance buying from a breeder you can see then one you can't. Not to mention that if something goes wrong with your pup you can at least have a shot at sueing if it is a local breeder. I can't even imagine how I could take his breeder to court...we are on opposite sides of the country! Its just such a sad situation for the pups and it makes me sick to know that Pepper has brothers and sisters out there with this illness.
Pepper's "breeder" (I don't call this woman a breeder...more tormentor) sent me a picture of Pep's parents...they looked old, sick, depressed and tired. Their teeth were just nasty..both looked like they had cataracs (sp?)....I can't look at the pictures without getting sick to my stomach and wanting to cry! I always wonder how you can look at those sad, depressed faces and continue to breed them. Pepper was transported in a semi from Arkansas to California. The broker (I won't name names because I don't want YT to get in any trouble) pat themselves on the back on their website...saying how wonderful they are, how their drivers stop every few miles to water and check the puppies (yeah right and i believe in the toothfairy too) and play with them! Pepper is terrified of any big truck..he sees one and just freaks out! The list of things he was/is afraid of is too long...but I know that he was abused either with the breeder or petstore.
