| There is a nwe phenomenon of people selling puppies on petfinder.
Don't know if this is the case, but...... |
| NO! Avoid these types of people! Many times these people are in the business of what they refer to as "rescue" to make a buck! They are no better than the puppy mills! By her giving $1100 to a puppy mill - she's not solving anything - that's not going to end puppy mills - they use that money to purchase more breeding stock. Dachsunds have a lot of health issues to begin with - never mind puppy mill products - who probably were too sick to sell through their regular means and that's why they're going through as "rescues".
These people are no better than the mills as far as I'm concerned. There are often puppy mill brokers (the middle men) used by mills to do exactly as you described. Unfortunately, these people have started to infiltrate petfinder in securing homes for these dogs. Be careful! Kristen |
| Itradan,
Here's an article I had posted under a different subject - about a person (like you described) who is selling puppy mill dogs that she "saved". http://lists.envirolink.org/pipermail/ar-news/Week-of-Mon-20040531/025573.html It's appalling! Kristen |
| I would have to question the fact that she said she will have more puppies available at a later date? Didn't she say she got them neutered and spayed? It sounds like she plans on continuing to breed them. |
| Intradan, I would suggest if a person is going to pay 400.00 anyway, why not find a truly reputable breeder? Or, adopt from a shelter maybe. This situation doesn't sound right to me either. |
