| Please don't buy from any place or any one that even hints of a puppy mill or puppy broker. |

Lets get some unbiased customer reviews and eliminate the concept that this is all propaganda. Just googling the facility you will find countless threads by many different customers. Sportsman Kennel Has anyone got a dog at Sportsmans Kennels on long island? Good/Bad? Officials: Puppy mill probe shows need for enforcement - Topix I could keep referencing threads, but this should be enough information. Taking this into consideration, I do not care for the BBB that they boast about. Quote:

| How sad that my opinion and experience holds any less validity than that of others expressed, because it was a positive one. I resent my integrity being questioned. What on offensive group of bitter people you are!!! |

We are NOT bitter, we are passionate that ALL dogs should be loved and cared for, get to sleep in a warm house, always have fresh water and fresh food, should be allowed to go for walks and romp and play in the grass AND should receive medical care and attention.... | |

| I recently got a German shepherd puppy from them STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM!!!!!!!! First they told me that I was getting a puppy from one of their best breeders! My guy is 8 months old with SEVERE hip disposals and also ELBOW DISPLASIA! My vet said that they rarely see elbow DISPLASIA anymore because most good breeders have bred it out of their lines. This kennel is not a good place to purchase from. They get their dogs from puppy mills. I found this out too late. Do yourself a favor and go to a reputable breeder. The cost factor is astronomical for my guy. |

| I just cannot believe the responses on this board. I thought dog people would know better. It doesn't matter how clean the place is or how great the dogs have been that you've purchased from them. What matters is that the mothers of these dogs have spent their entire lives in a wire cage. Their paws have never touched the earth! They are bred over and over again so they can make a lot of money off the puppies. It is wrong to purchase a puppy from any puppy store. They are in the business of selling the cutest creatures on the planet. This blinds people to what is really going on at a puppy store - they purchase ALL their puppies from mills. Please, please, please don't ever purchase a dog from a puppy store. Go to you local animal shelter or rescue group or find a reputable breeder. |
