Are you the lady on the tv that got the little yorkie named Bella? It was very sad viewing this. I cried viewing those poor babies living in such filth.

In my opinion, inspections of breeders kennels in every state or county, should be unanounced inspections, so that the people never know when their will be someone at their door to do an inspection, every one having a breeders license should have to undergo a class in breeding, periodically take tests to make sure they are up to date on things. They should be made aware of all the diseases, coccidia, girardia and everything and anything that could arrise in being a breeder and having a kennel. I think if this was done we would see less of this in licensed kennels. However, there's going to be those unlicensed that are breeding and don't care no matter how many laws are on the books
What laws do you think need to be changed?

I think more than food ,water and shelter should be given.The hair on the adult yorkies was disgusting ,so long and matted with feces and urine I couldnt even see their eyes ,the nails so long the curled.
How about basic grooming being provided like hair and nail clipping,fresh air,being let out of your cage at least 1x a day for exercise,a bed the list could go on and on.We need to hold these people (breeders,officials )accountable ,expect and demand more from them.
