[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand what OP is saying about statistical impossibility. Wouldn’t you need data on the number of puppy Mills and the number of reputable breeders to know whether it’s statistically likely that most pure breeds come from reputable breeders? I’ve never seen that data. If there are only 1000 puppy Mills in the US and 100,000 reputable breeders, it’s not statistically unlikely. Plus—this should be obvious—DCUM posters are not a random sample such that you could make those conclusions about statistical likelihood. There are a number of confounding variables including that posters are concentrated in a region with relatively few puppy Mills.[/quote] Agree with everything except for the part with few puppy mills...there are plenty of puppy mills in easy driving distance of the DMV. Tons of them in Pennsylvania for example. And VA outside of NOVA.[/quote]
