  • I agree wholeheartdly - people are very naive about this trade, sadly.

    Don't breed and buy whilst unwanted dogs die.

    I agree with all of that.....but please don't tar all breeders with the same brush.....there are some good, ethical breeders out there.

    Yes there are some excellent breeders out there Orlao.

    I just hoped people who were maybe thinking of going to pet shops or the like, might stop and think twice after watching this.

  • I think it is probably difficult to tell who the responsible breeders are - when someone else posted on here about a german shepherd I found this (be warned, some sad pictures)-

    I guess very few, if any of the people who bought lovely little pups from these breeders had any clue the parents are being kept like this.

    From personal experience, I do not believe that breeding dogs and b1tches from excellent kc registered bloodlines are always treat much better.
