Well, Science Diet isn't that great... And as far as "rescuing" goes: http://www.canismajor.com/dog/ypeoresc.html#LIars

Im sorry that you thank its so funny to put down a region of this country you obviously know nothing about. Looking at where most of the puppy mills are Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania you are looking at the wrong region. But let me say this there are a lot of wonderful people living in those states. I live in the panhandle of Florida about three miles from the Alabama line; I was born and raised in southeast Texas. I am Italian and Cajun, thats French for those that dont know any better. My great, great, great grandfather fought with Sam Houston at the Battle of San Jacinto. My wifes great, great, great, great grandfather signed The Declaration of Independence. I have lived all over this great land and I have found a lot of good in it. I have also found a few bigots like you and your friend envypoodlecollection. I have found its best just let them know that I know that they are bigots and then ignore them. And this is what I will do from now on, ignore you. Im really surprised at you Ana. Good by!

Your not a rescuer your a broker plain and simple. You make money by getting cheap puppies cleaning them up and selling them to the next person. You say you are saving puppies who will end up in a Pet Store. I really don't see how you are any better or worse than a pet store. How is what you do different? They buy puppies at a lower cost and clean them up and house them and sell them at a higher price. I know you make yourself feel better because you give the puppies blankets and toys and play with them several times a day. That's wonderful but what about their parents? Are they living in wonderful homes with soft beds and lots of toys? OR are they being bred every heat cycle and given little or no health care cheap food and no love? If your able to make a car payment with what you make selling your puppies I'd say your doing pretty good for yourself. Its a win win for you, you get to play with cute little puppies all the time and pay your bills too. Do I think you are a wicked person, no I'm guessing your not, you are just someone who figured out that you could make money this way and are. No better or worse than a pet store.

I'm actually not considered a broker at all. I don't have a broker's license. Brokers sell to pet stores. I don't. I do however have a pet store license. But I'm not a commercial pet store where people come in and look at lots of puppies in tiny cages. I don't expect you to agree with what I do and I'm really not looking for your approval. It would REALLY be nice if folks could come on this forum and talk about what they want to talk about without fear of being constantly harrassed. I don't understand why it's allowed.

My senses are good, thanks! And I'm sure yours are too.

"I don't expect you to agree with what I do and I'm really not looking for your approval.

You said you think of yourself as a rescurer, my post was in responce to that. I don't dislike you or hold out and bad feeling about you and what you do. I have never said you are a bad person. I do not feel you are a bad person. As I stated before you found a way to make money and you are doing it. No where did I say you were bad because of it. I "believe" a rescue is an orginization that saves the lives of abused or near death dogs and cares for them and finds them new homes. The money they make only covers the needs of the shelter and not to pay other bills. That is only my opinion.

'she has tried to defend herself on numerous occasions stating that she is not a mill or byb She simply takes dogs/pups into her home feeds, grooms, Loves and takes GOOD care of them. Then she finds the best homes possible for them with familys that are going to love them and take care of them for the rest of their lives!' LOL... Sorry Sally, NO... Puppyluv is a BROKER. Do you know what that is? A broker is the "middle man." They are the ones who buy a puppy from a miller and sell the pup to the pet store, another broker, or directly to the public. A broker will buy a puppy for say $120 from a miller (why millers breed so many puppies - they get little from the pup). Then the broker will sell the pup to a pet shop for a profit. Then the pet shop will sell the puppy to the public for even more. Say a pet shop sells a Shetland Sheepdog pup for $800.00. The miller gets $120 from the broker for every Sheltie sold. In order to make $800.00, the miller has to sell to the broker 7 - 8 Sheltie pups. Ppyluv wants you to think she is rescuing these pups (Which BTW is the typical line these people will give you), but shes merely buying puppies from millers and reselling them. All this time, she led us all to believe she was a dog owner just like the rest of us.. then the truth came out.. Now is that being honest?

I guess I'll say it one more time...... I'm not a broker, I DO NOT sell to commercial pet stores. That's where I try to keep a lot of puppies from going.... I have a pet store license which allows me to bring puppies in to my home, etc.......... I WISH I could buy puppies for $120! That would be GREAT!! If you'll read my previous post on this same thread, you'll be able to learn about what I REALLY do! I'm not sure how you feel that I led anyone to believe that I was "just a pet owner". I have asked about different breeds and different situations but I thought that's what this forum was all about - sharing information. I didn't say anything about what I did for a long time because I knew all hell would break loose. And it did. I just thought I'd be the first to step up and talk about a controversial subject - that's all. I consider ALL of my puppies MY pets until they go to their forever homes. I am however wanting to get a Frenchie as a forever pet someday! I'm just waiting for the right one to come along. I'm in no hurry at all..... I don't mind you disagreeing with what I do but there really is a more mature way to discuss it. This is a pet lover's forum, not a show dog forum or a shelter dog forum. If that is all you can regurgitate over and over again, maybe this isn't the right forum for you - I don't know.

Rhandi, you had pretended to be just another owner when you proudly posted about the white Boxer puppy you impulse-purchased "for your nephew" who's mom "wouldn't let him keep it." You even had a page up for the dog at dogster.com. You later advertised the dog here and resold him. That's when someone on the forum figured you out, not when you decided to tell us what you do. Remember?

Are the parents of the pups you sell health tested, Rhandi? Also, what does your average Chi pup sell for? I love the pic. of the litter soon-to-be-available and am just curious.
