I don't like ad's like this

This just further proves Wes's comment.

Connie, have you talked to your local SPCA about the add? They might be able to do something.

Agreed on the comment.

As to the SPCA... they don't have any grounds to assume they are going to open a mill. In fact, what constitutes a puppy mill? Breeding dogs isn't illegal, it's more often the conditions the dogs are kept in that get people in trouble.

I'm very picky when it comes to backyard breeders. On the one hand, if they are well aware of breed specific problems and are in it for the GOOD and BETTERMENT of the breed (whatever it may be) then I'm all for it.

I do NOT like the "designer dogs" that are made for the SOLE purpose of making as many as possible and selling for money. (which I believe the ad is leaning to)

There is no care for physical well being, tests to ensure sound bodies and temperament, no training in skills of obedience, tracking, working etc... They are made solely for MONEY, and because of this silly notion that their mutts are worth more than a purebred animal that has roots going back hundreds of years.

Yes, I don't mind breeding of different breeds within reason, that's how many of our breeds were brought around, but this willy nilly mix and match, cabbage patch crap pisses me off. It's for lining their pockets, not for making a better and more capable working or companion animal.

Go to the pound for heavens sake, I love going to the pound and seeing all the smiley dogs. They have so much love and companionship to give. I will give my home to one of them sometime hopefully soon.
