Pet Store Supports Puppy Mills

[wolf_bluejay]

Just as a quick little note, I do NOT consider selling to a pet store to be a mistake. If you read what I posted before, the store DID make a very good effort to ensure we did meet their "requirements" before buying the puppies. And there were very strict.

I bred for the pure enjoyment of it, and it was much more enjoyable to sell the puppies myself. The whole "reputable" breeder thing is just a people that forked over MONEY, to become certified trying to protect their investment. What makes a reputable breeder?
One that raises dogs because they love them? My wife cried every time one of the babies left, and usually followed up with the owner. Does a registered breeder love their dogs? or are they all about proft just like the puppy mills, just with fancier cages?

Reputable!?! Reputation? iIf you have a reputation, then you have been doing it long enough that you look at the dogs as MONEY!
