How Do I know This Place is Reputable? I need help. How do I know if this place is reputable? How do I know it's not puppy mill related? What questions do I need to ask? Toy Puppies, Designer Puppies | Baton Rouge, LA Am I better off here: http://www.yorkiehavenrescue.com/adoptable.php I really prefer a female baby and don't see any there but gosh would I love to rescue one. Any help greatly appreciated. |
They are advertising designer dogs. That in itself says it all. They breed 5 different breeds. Plus designers. Looks like a mill to me. There are people on here that are associated with yorkie Haven Rescue. Contact ladyjane for information. |
I've been there before. They are a very small store in a little outdoor strip mall. I will contact ladyjane. Thanks. So you are saying all designer breeds probably come from puppy mills? |
Also notice they have "hours of operation":. Then what? they go home? |

usually if they are selling more than 2 kinds of breeds that is a bad sign. A breeder is just that they breed in a particualr breed. To be a good breeder there is a lot of knowledge involved in that particular breed. I don't see how you could have all that knowledge in 10 different breeds. |
Purse, tiny, toy, and regular.? Wow they come in all those sizes? |
All designer dogs arent from mills but almost all petstore puppies are. Look for either a rescue or a good breeder, stay away from pet stores. :) |
ok so i guess not a good place to get Cooper's sister :( |
Puppy brokers are people or companies who buy from different breeders and sell through pet stores and websites. The contract out with breeders and usually the breeders run puppy mills, but they are always commercial breeder, who breed as a business. A reputable breeder would NEVER sell her dogs this way; a reputable breeder cares about which homes her dogs are placed. A reputable breeder feels responsible for all the offspring that the dog's she sells produces, and ALWAYS sells pets on a spay and neuter contract. I've heard many great things about Yorkiehaven rescue, and highly recommend looking for a pet there. |
You all make sense. Thank you. |
