I like my job,the people are the hard ones to deal with.A big mean pit you can just catch pole and put in the truck,the sweet little puppy I can pick up and take to the shelter and hope it will be adopted.The people are much harder to deal with as you can't do any of that.
I do believe that this person really does not realize just how bad the conditions were,some horders and breeders have things build up over time and do no see how bad things get.Hope we can get the rest and have the judge to rule for her not to own any more.
Puppy mills are one thing I can see no reason for at all.If you do want a pure breed at least check with breed specific rescues (most are full right now) or with shelters.We have had many in past few weeks including a English bulldog and two Yorkies,one of them being a crate trained 12 week old. We have to put down hundreds of great dogs every year that those who buy from pets stores and flea markets(most puppy mill dogs here are sold at flea markets)could adopt.My God,right now we have even got 25.00 adoption that comes with free spay or neuter and a rabies shot.Where are you going to beat that?
There is no good reason for them at all.
I have seen a lot of good breeders over the years and the conditions are extremely good, some are cleaner than a hospital.
