| Ireland has a lot of puppy mills-- I'd be very, very wary about purchasing a pup from there. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/hopeuk/pu...rm_capital.htm

A broker imports or buys from where ever and resells. A breeder is someone who has bred the litter themselves. If it was a broker, I don't know if there could be problems as only puppymills or bad breeders sell through brokers and more often than not, there are problems. | |
