Please report them. All pet owners have a responsibility to provide a minimum amount of care if they want to own a pet.

So sad. Those babies deserve so much better. I would report them - at the very least it was trigger a home visit.

My co-worker went to look at a lab baby - she got there, it was a mix and was in horrible conditions, with an eye infection. The family was not any better. She bought the dog and now three years later, she is one of the best dogs around. A little neurotic at times, but a great dog.

The last two breeders I got my babies from lived in trailers and in very rural areas. The outside was nothing to write home about, but the inside was super clean and the babies were clean, very social and happy. The first one used to call the puppies babies and had them out with her in the living room/kitchen most of the time. She introduced me to the first yorkie she bred - a senior yorkie on a princess pillow - she was 21, toothless, and almost blind. But when she picked her up, there was lots of snuggles and kisses. She loved all of her babies. She even called me after the first week to make sure everything was okay.

You cannot always judge a book by its cover - I commend you for going in. What you found when you went in was terrible.

Don't let this experience bum you out too much. There are a lot of very good breeders who love and take care of all of their babies - moms, dads, and puppies.

Hang in there.

It's such a terrible discovery. And what makes it worse, you have a chance to rescue just one of those babies from a horrible existance. But that rescue rewards a breeder who should not be allowed to sell his/her pups. Did you see 'your' pup? If you did, you may as well take her. The image of her living in filth will haunt you all of your days. If you didn't, report the breeder and try to move on. There is a special place in Hell for people that can treat a sweet animal like that!

thats so sweet. i wont give up some part of my heart is still saying go for it get the little baby and change her life for the better. My DH tells me he doesnt think its such a great idea because what if I should get this little mama and she doesnt have very good health and ends of passing away. I dont want to expect the worst but Im a sensitive person and if something of that nature did happen I think I would be broken. Im tore. does anyone think I should still go for it? Am I wrong to want to still adopt and bring her home?

[AbbyMax]

If she "spoke" to you so to speak - I say go for it. I know that may no be the popular thought since it does not address the issue of bad breeders, but this little baby will be so much better with a family like yours. Is the family bad off? (no excuse, I know) But if they are, I would consider taking some puppy food for the babies. Yes, I am a sucker and cannot look the other way. Pick the food you want to feed and see if they will let you bring some over - at least try to get some good nutrition for them. All of the babies in the litter and the baby momma will thank you.

My precious Poppy died earlier this year from renal failure. Yes, I had to make that terrible decision to put her down on her 9th birthday. It was a pain greater than anything I had ever felt before. I still can not talk about loosing her. But I would not trade one tear for all of the memories she gave me. I have photos of her everywhere. It was like someone ripped my heart out of my chest when I lost her - but I still have to smile every time I see a photo of her. She was such a ham for the camera.

I don't think it matters how long or short your time is with your fur-baby. The loss you feel will be great, but the joy you have with them is so worth it.

Let us know what you decide. (I however think you have already made your decision

I thought the puppies are too young to leave? I would keep in touch with them for a while and then take the puppy to the vet to make sure they are healthy and then make a decision. You certainly would be rescuing this baby and maybe keep her from going to a home where she won't be taken care of.

I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't give money to this "breeder." I would instead do what others have advised you and report the situation.

I know it's hard to walk away from a puppy that you have seen and connected with, but I would take that money and invest it into a pup with a health guarantee and a breeder who will be there to support you throughout the pup's life.
