Do puppy millers think they are???
Permalink  

I have a schnauzer I have advertised about on several sites...I received a response from a person who I had reservations about right away...but I figured it was just an email so who cares. I wrote her back and asked her some brief questions on her breeding program, how many dogs she has...ect...Well...Low and behold...I got the answer to her and I was shocked...She went on how she "loved this dog already" and she explained her "breeding program" (what a play on words I might say) was to white schnauzers and to bred down in size...I didn’t like the sound of that... either...and she said she had other animals...and I had told the pet for sale I had would not do well with large dogs...which she said she had 2 German shepherds,...Well I went to her web site she added to the email and I was shocked...She has a zillion breeds of dog and the pic of one Min Pin...I remember distinctly...Last year I saw a puppy find ad on  a min pin and in the pic..You could see the crap in the corner of the cage...and the dog was on wire grates...and she bragged he was only 3 1/2 pounds...All her animals are a disgrace to the bred they represent...Well...in her 2nd email she wanted to know if she was in the running for my dog...and I told her no. Can she really think she isn’t a puppy mill...Last year I felt so strongly after seeing that minpin that I emailed her. I have never done that before or since...And I could not believe the nasty response I got back from her... It is crazy...do they think they are legitimate breeders and don’t see the difference...I just can tell…I distinctly advertised for a pet in the house life for this dog…and the reason so re homing it…because of being traumatized by a German Shepherd at my house in the first place…I cant wait to get her response to may last email…Here is what I replied to her with…and I was being nice…


Lynne...I am sorry but No I can not in good faith sell you my dog...She is a family pet and I would just die if I knowingly sold her to a puppy mill...I would rather just keep her. She is a good quality dog and deserves a good life...I could recognize your dogs from a puppy find ad I wrote to last year...You still use the same picture of "Goofy" and all you did was trim away the ugly background...I had saved our email conversation from that time and I know that my animals are considered pets and not livestock...I would have hoped that you would have changed your practices...But...I guess some never learn...

That's 6 different breeds of dogs!  I hope you called someone to investigate her.  And in Phoenix no less.  I will keep a close watch for this one since i am so near.

On one of the introductions of pets she doesn't even bother to complete the intro it simply states:


"Our"


 


Our what?


Some people need to give up breeding and just simply get a J-O-B. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It takes money, time and dedication to run a business.  Successful breeding is a full time business.  That website looks hastily thrown together obviously, not indicative of someone caring about their product.


If I am wrong fine but I wasn't impressed.  Not that I judge by the website.  The pictures  tell a thousand tales.  If I see the dogs are in the dirt--big turn off. If I see cages--turn off. If I see chains--turn off.  If I see ribs/bones-turn off.  If I see

Tyson..I agree this site seems hastly put together...no one even fixed the spelling errors..I had the original picture saved on my PC..it was a dog in a cage that has so much feces in it it had a mound to stand on..and she didnt even think it was wierd and put it with her puppy ad...I wrote her and she wrote me nastily back..that was last fall i believe..She has since trimmed the crap from around poor goofies body and still uses the pic..I am so suprised I didnt get a email back from her..when I told her no on my Schnauzer...But it is ok..It wont change any thing..She will be in business tomorrow..and the next day..but hopefully people will become more aware and not let people who do this slide any more..I can only hope this is so...Dallas..I dont know any thing about the heading pic...I hope she does have to pay royalties...would serve her right...Her excuse for the crap and the dog in that cage was that she put him in that pen to take a pic...yeah sure..we all put our clean dogs in a filthy feces coroded rabbit hutch to take a pic for a sales ad...whats the next one..got some swamp land you care to sell...lol..any way..im glad some agree this is wrong...
