Just wanted to share exactly what a puppy mill is for those so called friends who say that there is no clear definitions a puppy mill. READy? CALL your local pet shop. Ask where they get their puppies. They will tell you from reputable breeders. This is a LIE TO DECEIVE the customer. How is puppy milling different than reputable breeding? Puppy mills exist for only one purpose - to make money. In a puppy mill, there may be as many as 30 different breeds and up to 800 or more breeding dogs. Every female is pregnant with every heat, including their first heat at 6 - 10 months old when they themselves are still a puppy. The puppies receive little to no medical attention, are not socialized with people, are almost always taken from their mothers too young, and often start their lives out in the world sick and scared. There is absolutely no regard to the health and well-being of the breeding dogs and when they can no longer produce puppies, the majority of them are killed. A USDA COMMERCIAL BREEDER HAS A REQUIREMENT...A DOG has TO HAVE 6 inches around them their entire life. Thats ALL!! This is NOT a reputable breeder. Most often, a reputable breeder has great interest in one or perhaps two breeds. The purpose of their breeding program is to continually strive to bring their bloodlines closest to the breed standard. A reputable breeder spends a great deal of time, effort and money showing their dogs, socializing their dogs, having their breeding dogs tested for genetic defects, and being very careful to place their puppies in permanent, loving homes. A reputable breeder will at any time for any reason, take any of the puppies theyve bred back into their care for the lifetime of the dog, taking full responsibility for the dogs that they have produced. A reputable breeder wants to know about you and develop a relationship with you. They enjoy updates and photographs of their puppies as they grow and are always available to help with any questions or concerns about their puppies. One of the most important things to know is that a reputable breeder has nothing to hide. They want you to meet the parents of the puppies and see the environment the puppies are raised in. We believe there are many reputable breeders out there, doing a fine job of raising healthy and sound puppies. Buyers must do their homework - contact the National Breed Clubs and find out who the reputable breeders are. Visit the breeder, meet the parents of the puppies, inspect the environment the puppies were raised in, ask lots of questions and if it feels like theyre hiding something, they probably are and youd be best served to move on. I have chosen cause this because the consumer is DUPED and MISLED about their precious puppy in the window and usually ends up, after an impulse buy...dumping them or being bombarded with medical bills from these sickly puppies. This antiquated practice is soon to be stopped. However...as with all businesses where money is involved, it is a fight because people are making a living off the uneducated and naive. People are awakening and I thank God for that. Please wish us the best for tomorrow night EST TIME at 6pm where we hope to begin a change to raise awareness and enact humanity into business practices...at least on this level. Thanks for ANY AND ALL SUPPORT. We need anyone and everyone to show up tomorrow night at Delray City Hall in the Commission Chambers. Please wear red to show our unification of this barbaric practice.
