[quote=Anonymous]This organization is barely above the puppy mill standard, at best, or is a disguised puppy mill, at worse. It does not say a word about where the puppies actually live and does not guarantee the parents and grandparents' health. The prices are as high as the ones requested by dedicated breed-lovers who house their dogs in their own homes, because this organization needs to portray themselves as a legitimate concern, and low prices would immediately raise a red flag. People are easily taken in by savvy marketing and don't bother to educate themselves on what really best for the dog: - The puppy should be born in the owner's house, with his mother in close attendance for at least 7-8 weeks, and socialized from day 1 with safe dogs and humans. No kennels. - The parents and grandparents, at minimum (the best breeders can go as far back as 5 generations) are known by the owner and followed throughout their lives for genetic diseases and personality issues, to breed only the healthiest and most personable among them. This organization only talks about puppy health and vaccinations, which only means that for the first 7-12 weeks of their lives, no diseases appeared. And since hip dysplasia and other scourges become visible later in life, that "health guarantee" means NOTHING. [/quote]
