[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^  I would beg those people to just TRY.  [b]Just check petfinder and see if an adoptable dog near you could be "good enough" instead of feeding into the dog breeding industry. [/b] There are too many dogs in this world and not enough love and care to go around.  Please be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

But back to the topic of this thread, I feel that groups like National Mill Dog Rescue are part of the solution, and she gets many of her used (and badly neglected) dogs from what you would call "reputable breeders".

If you only do this, you are absolutely likely to be supporting puppy mills because there are plenty of "rescues" that sell their dogs via petfinder.

I think people who go to ethical breeders are more of the solution than people who blindly support any group who calls themselves a rescue and puts a dog up on Petfinder with a donation fee, frankly. There are good rescues organizations, but you need to go to them, and you need to know the history of the group. I think there are also "rescues" that are basically fronts for the puppy mill industry. They create a market for puppy mills by buying at auction, as described in this article. [/quote]
