But, when it comes to puppies and dogs.. do you not believe in single handedly raising these puppies yourself? How can every dog receive the love of a warm lap to sleep on when there are so many of them? I am not assuming that they do not have names, but how can you begin to keep track of these dogs? How can someone justify the reason for leaving these dogs on dirt ground in the heat regardless of how long they or out there or why they are out there. When you bring in puppymills, people will get emotional. That's what this whole forum is about-- our love for our pets. When us emotional people see these things, it strikes a nerve. Don't you begin to think "How could they treat a dog like that"? If I can speak for the majority of us, we see our pets as our own children. We raise them in our homes, we train them and we love them. I am not sure about you but I believe every pet should get the attention that it deserves and the love of a family. The difference between puppymill and breeder is that, if chosen carefully, a breeder will also raise a litter of puppies like their own babies. Some breeders even have a hard time letting these puppies go because they have grown to love them. With reputable breeders, I am sure that they do not have mass quantites of babies at one time. They actually care and love their pets, not throw them in a cage all day. You are totally right, the dogs may not be healthier from a breeder but atleast we are reassured that they were raised the right way before we picked them up. It's not only the health of a dog that matters. I, personally, would rather pay $1,000 for a puppy from a loving breeder with a small condition versus paying $600.00 for a puppy from a puppymill that was neglected it's whole life. | |

And yes, I do get emotional about this subject. Maybe I care too much.

If you took 100 pet store puppies and compared that to 100 raised raised by breeders - I think the result would be just what we see all the time - Pet Store puppies are prone to health problems - due to a life that started in a MILL. | |

| wheeeweee...this is gettin really heated guys. i agree with everyone i'm antimill too but maybe we can all just take a big breather and think about what we write before someone's feelings get really really hurt were family here and ofcourse family argue but let's not take it so far that we leave a wound that can't heal.

| It took me forever to read through this thread and I don't know this kennel/breeder. It is a lot of dogs and I wouldn't want mine to live there but I think we all need to stop coming down on Kim so hard. She is stating an opinion--that's all. She loves her dogs and you can tell that in all her posts on other threads. The comment about her getting a puppy from there and then it dies.... that is just mean. |

Just as you say we should not claim this operation a puppymill because we have not seen it, in my opinion.. I do not think you should say that these dogs left outside are treated better than any dog owned by a member of this site. I know for a fact that I pamper my dog far better than I pamper myself. And, I do not know about you but when I checked for a breeder, I checked out their background and their living conditions. Let me ask you something. Do you believe that all of those dogs are getting the attention, love and care that they need? If so, how? How do you think you can keep up with all of those dogs in one day? Do you think that some of them will get neglected, if not all? | |
