Re: Commercial Breeders/Kennels -VS- Puppy Mills

I take my hat off to you! Just by going to play with the pups could have been setting yourself up for "disaster." I know for myself it is really tough turning my back on a pup that I could give a wonderful home to. Like you, my first rott Chino is the product of a puppymill. I went into a petstore to pick up cat food and walked out with a $2000+ BYB rottweiler!

My friend called me up the other day to tell me that she had seen a rottweiler at a local pet store... of course with my curious nature, I had to go and see. The poor little guy was slightly over 3 months of age and he couldn't have weighed more than 15lbs. My heart absolutely broke and I could have easily been suckered into paying the $900 asking price... but I vowed never again after learning everything I did on these forums about BYB's.

If we can educate one person at a time, our efforts are worth it!
