[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many different puppies do they have available? Are those puppies the same breed or multiple different breeds? Do they have health screenings for the parents?

Generally speaking, Amish or Mennonite breeders think of the dogs the same way they would think about any other kind of farm animal. They aren't going to mistreat them on purpose, but they aren't going to baby it any more than they would a calf. They probably are not that worried about breed standards or genetic issues. They are selling cute puppies for money. [/quote]

That's a vast, vast understatement about the brutality of these places. [/quote]

NP. Do you think all Amish and mennonites run the same operations? Or is that making a sweeping generalization? [/quote]

It is a business they are in. Dog breeding does not make money when the dogs get the proper care and dams are not overbred. Breeding operations that are set up as businesses are de facto mills.[/quote]
