I suppose the best bang for your buck is to go after the huge concerns, and not for the most part an Amish or Mennonite farmer selling maybe 40-100 pups a year. but from the more commercial enterprises that sell 1000's of pups a year through brokers, and pet shops.

But please do understand, the demand for puppies and dogs will be here with us I hope for-ever, and a vacuum of supply will once again attract more byber's puppymillers to open up yet again.

So in concert with any truly organized action to shut down puppy mills, that needs to be married to, support, advertising what are the qualities the characteristics of a responsible breeder. This is where you get your purebred from; if you want a mixed dog, well go to the shelter or the dog pound.

Breed specific rescues are yes, mainly wanting to help out their own breed, but trust me, we have no idea for the mainpart if this is a purebred toy Manchester or not. Many dogs come with no identification other than they look a lot like breed a/b/c.

The problem is that there's hundreds of BYB ers in Ohio. I feel that even if we limit them on how many dogs they can have, it's a step in the right direction. Bigger operations will make me happier, but knowing the small ones are being shut down too will also make me happy.

I hope this thread inspires others to do something about mills and bybers Telling people just isn't enough for me anymore. I really feel like I should do SOMETHING to help, you know? You all have given me options that I can do to start. Good places to check out and talk to. Thanks!

I would love to get it illegal for all pet stores in the US to sell puppies that would be a great start but I am guessing it has to be done state by state.

Thanks for making this thread Taylor!

Just wanted to add that pet stores administer antibiotics to all the puppies around the clock...it's to mask any illnesses or kennel cough they all come with from being born in puppy mills! What Dogs and Puppies Endure | The Tale of a Puppy Mill Dog

IDK if minimomo posted this on this thread or not but here is a link provided by minimomo on EvaNoel's Korean Yorkshire Terrier Puppies? thread. We could stop all of this if people didn't buy from them. Why can't Dateline or CNN or Fox or Animal Planet do a big expose program on this dirty little secret of toy dog breeding? And run it over and over and over just 1/10th as much as they do pieces on Jodi Arias?
