To me, this is the first and foremost thing all pet owners should do if they say they love their dogs. How can they purchase a puppy where it's mom and dad are living in inhuman conditions? This is so wrong. I also think a good breeder will want to see you in person.

| That video is very very sad :( How can the pups be healthy in those conditions? Arent they exposed to Parvo etc in places like that??:(
I´ve always made sure I can visit the breeder before I decide on buying a puppy...and not only once either,I have always visited my pups numerous times before I bring them home (I would NEVER buy a puppy I wasnt allowed to visit a few times before hand).
I´ve also been sent pictures on a regular basis and info on how they´re doing via e-mail etc.I also like to be around the mother as well as the puppies..I like to see her temperament and in what conditions she´s in etc.
All of this is very important to me because I like to know exactly where my puppy has been,how healthy the parents are and how it´s been treated before it comes home to me.
Its very sad that people are able to abuse animals like that to make "easy" money :( The poor things... |
