| Found a Broker,dealer book! I am so disgusted!! My husband does auto body repair. He came home from work today telling me about a box type van he's working on. In it he found a book titled.....Missouri Pet Breeders Assn. Southeast Chapter 2007/2008 Directory. This book is a listing of all different breeds including Yorkies and the brokers/dealers/breeders...etc. names, addresses and phone numbers. On the inside of the book one ad says....HAPPY HOLLOW PETS NEEDS YOUR PUPPIES!!!! PAYING COMPETITIVE PRICES FOR QUALITY PUPPIES and then the names and phone numbers. It also has a whelping table/chart and another chart titled Kitten & Puppy Market Chart. I am just sick!! It has some web pages listed, but I haven't checked them out yet. Too afraid of what I'll find I think. I know on the copies of the business cards that are on the pages some of them call their kennels...'farms.' I guess I'm just totally naive when it comes to this stuff. I never knew they actually put out books, with their names and phone numbers in it. Why would anyone openly admit to selling to stores, etc.. calling them Wholesale Companion Puppies? I'm just sick over this...I wish my husband hadn't brought this horrible book home. I wish I hadn't looked at it.

| The pet industry is a 94 Billion Dollar business...you would actually throw up if you ever went to an auction.

| Well, I said that, because a friend of my hubbys took his car in just for an oil change, those guys stole my hubbys friends gps out of his car, so they had to buy a new gps for the guy...I know I've been told when working places(do not touch anything if it doesn't belong to you)..that's why I asked.. |

| No, they are not really suppose to take anything, but it was in their trash box they had in the back so he thought it might be something I'd want to see. He's taking it back, so I didn't jump him about it. I just didn't think such crap existed.

| Sound's pretty disgusting to me. I can't imagine someone publishing any kind of book or information about such stuff.

| Maybe print out some brochures from the internet on how sick this business is, then leave them in the glove compartment, or that's kinda obvious your hubby went through his trash, so just have them at the front desk like their for "everyone' when he goes to pick up his car.
