Q: What is a dog auction? I adopted my dog from MABTR and was told she was a puppy mill breeder picked up at an auction. How does MABTR go about getting these dogs? Is it safe to say if the breeder auctioned her off rather than just giving her to the group she probably did not live in the best conditions? A: Video: https://youtube/watch?v=vEt1rkq0Gw4 A dog auction consist of breeders of all sizes that are looking to sell or purchase breeding dogs. Why is asked a lot. There are many reasons. To list a few: -The breeder is recycling his stock -The breeder is changing outs breeds -The breeder is downsizing -The breeder needs money -The dog is too old to breed however to another breeder the dog still has a few years left -The dog was part of a bulk purchase and was not really of interest to begin with but was part of the package MABTR works with middlemen/undercover individuals who attend auctions at which time MABTR will place a max bid on each Boston head. We are not in the market of buying dogs however when we are able to get a puppy mill dog out of the inhumane cycle of over breeding for just $1-$80 it is worth every penny. It is a fact, that MABTR has paid as little as $1 for a Boston out of an auction. If these dogs do not land in the hands of a rescue group they end back in a wire cage placed outside and are scheduled for the next breeding cycle to fill the pet stores with puppies. The conditions of the puppy mills of those attending an auction compared to those that just release dogs to rescue are no different. The only difference is those breeders at an auction make it clear that money matters more than life. This is my personal opinion. There are however breeders, that at the end of an auction, if their dogs did not sell that they will start giving them out for free or literally for pennies.
