so cute and my puupy cam from a breeder. a liscenced one

[Chaosemeraldfreak]

YES!!! DO THAT!!!!! GET MORE OLD DOGS!!! If old dogs are left in the shelter, they die alone!!!! Adopt more old dogs and a little less puppies!!!

[nikigurl08]

@Chaosemeraldfreak It'd be hard for me to get an old myself , because than the dog is past it prime and start getting breaking down which mean it close to the end of it rope. So that's y I wont get an old dog because I don't want to say good bye to the dog within a couple of years.

If you get a puppy from a responsible breeder that shows their dogs and does all of the proper health checks, than why is it wrong to pay for that service. Raising a healthy, well-adjusted litter takes a lot of time and effort. I start potty training my puppies at 21/2 weeks.

[nikigurl08]

@gsps3 Agreed not every dog breeder is a puppy mill. I bought my registered Blue Merle Pomeranian from a local breeder and she was very informative on all his information, and I got to see both of the parents which were healthy and happy. My other dog I got was a 2 yr old Pomapoo but I got her for free because she didn't sell as a puppy. So I mean i think its good to recuse but I wont get a dog from a recuse because their way to strict and want way to much paper work.

@gsps3 @nikigurl08 it's great that you took the time to find a responsible breeder that places priority on the health of the animals. There's nothing wrong with that, and this video is not discouraging it. This video promotes not purchasing from pet stores due to the large number of pet store puppies from puppy mills. Responsible breeders don't sell to pet stores and have similar rules & paperwork that shelters do. It's up to us to speak for these animals that cannot speak for themselves.

I adopted a puppy from a local shelter and it had coccidia. I guess they carry the same parasites as puppy mills, huh? As much as I paid for that pup it should have at least been parasite free wouldn't you think?

[deborah498]

The dogs in the cartoon looked pretty healthy coming from "Puppy mills". They should have shown a dog one eye, or some form of mutated body...to make it more believable. Anyone who breeds more than one litter of pups a year are considered a puppy mill. LOL!

Great message & video!!! Puppy mills suck & if I found one - I would report it immediately...love Sheriff Joe as he hates them too!!!
