I did say upscale barn... they are in the middle of Iowa, but this was no dark dingy barn! It's climate controlled!

They do breed "multiple" dogs- they're a breeder, lol! In fact they breed a few breeds of dogs, Pugs is the one I can remember. I think he said they were doing Boxers for a while? This is a 2 family joint venture, and they are located on a farm, with other animals as well.
I don't think there is anything shady with their animals or husbandry practices at all, I just didn't care for their style of business entirely. I would buy from them again.
The animals do come with a warranty against defects, etc etc. And the puppies seem very well cared for and well adjusted. The registries they offer are United All Breed Registry and America's Pet Registry. They say nothing about AKC, so I would assume these are not AKC quality dogs, for what that's worth. (meant nothing to me, I did not intend to show or breed the dogs, I just wanted them to be healthy). In fact, I'm not even sure of what benefit there is to registering the dogs with either of these 2 registries if you don't plan on breeding, showing, selling etc. If they are microchipped, why would you even need to register them? Just to have papers?
