I don't know what the solution is, I'm just curious. There are so many wonderful animal-loving people her, how many of our babies actually came from reputable breeders (I'm NOT implying that future pets should not). |

I got my male from a 1st time breeder about 45 miles away in ala. My 2 girls I bought locally from an in home breeder. She has 2 females & 2 males that she breeds & 2 itty bitty babies that she has kept from her litters. Her pups aren't show quality but they are healthy, loving, well mannered furbabies & priced reasonably affordable. Most of her puppy buyers come from word of mouth & she's careful about who her babies go to their forever home with. She has become a great source of support & knowledge.
