[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I would and I have. These are the same puppies that may end up at “rescues”.[/quote]

They end up at rescues because these breeders are unethical. if they can't sell their dogs they call rescues to take them telling them if they don't they will be killed. Same goes for the parent dog. When they are done breeding them they throw them away/pawn off to a rescue. These dogs arrive at rescues poorly socialized, often terrified of people and not at all well cared for. These types of breeders do not care about health issue or temperament and will still breed dogs that have known genetic issues.

Buying from these types of places/puppy mills just keeps this cycle going. Sure you can rationalize it with "well if I don't buy this puppy it may end up at a rescue or be killed by the breeder." Do you really want to support this type of "breeder"? Do you really not care about how the parent dog is treated and their quality of life?  Volunteer with a rescue that gets these types of cases, if it doesn't make you cry you have no heart and don't deserve the love of any dog.

No, I am not 100% anti breeders. There are many that treat the dogs incredibly well, where they live in their homes as regular pets. The puppies are well socialized and genetically tested. Where they only breed each dog a limited number of times and only breed when there is demand. [/quote]
