Well despite what you got sued over you can't possibly think it's ok to sell 1200 puppies and that was just with one person that was helping you and you said you had more!
I do think if your story is true about this woman that she is wrong and needs to be punished as well but honestly have you ever heard of Karma (what goes around comes around)? Sounds like you got screwed just like you have done to many other people. You can't say you didn't know the dogs were sick and if you really didn't know you are ignorant! What about the dog who was sick and returned to you and you resold it a week later? It's one thing to have a ton of dogs that you breed but it's another to treat people they way you have. So i am assuming because you go to Ireland a lot that you also have a mill there to and one in England so you must sell thousands and thousands of dogs a year i just hope you can sleep at night knowing what you do for a living and one day it will come back to haunt you!
