http://www.nextdaypets.com/directory/dogs/uid/84005.aspx They are obviously a breeder. There are many different breeds there. Houston Texas has many dog breeding facilities (puppy mills, backyard breeders). If you're going to be a breeder be a responsible one. Do your research, and I highly urge you to focus on one breed that you truly love. The people that have 5 or 6 different breeds are in it for the money and do not care how healthy their pups are. You might see a puppy in a picture and say "Oh he's so cute, I want him" but with people like this you never know what kind of puppy you're getting. These are all of the different breeds that she is selling: Havanese Maltese Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies) French Bulldogs Chihuahua Pugs Shih Tzu Bichon Frise Tibetan Spaniels Malti-Poos Cock-A-Poos Puggles Poodles Coton de Tulears Miniature Rottweiler Other Purebreds Other Special Hybrids now that's what i call a lot. They may say I specialize in happy, healthy puppies, but with that many, how can you tell? If you specialize in that as well as breeding with so many different types of dogs then you wouldn't be making a profit now would you? You'd have to pay for vet bills to assure that they're happy and healthy right? Right.

Whoa! Did you go to their website listed on the ad?? This is a 16 yr old kid that is running a BROKER business! From what I read, he doesnt breed these dogs, he has connection to various different breeders. This is the worst kind of person! There is no way of knowing where your dog came from when buying a dog from a broker, they will refuse to give you any contact numbers to the breeder. Correct me if Im wrong, but this is what it looks like to me.. Click on "about us". http://www.perfectpuppydog.com/

I saw the about us page and frankly i'm a little suspicious about that. I think maybe someone used a picture of someone they found on the internet or something to hide their identity. If you notice they say "If you are interested in OUR puppies" which makes you think that they're all their puppies. Also at the bottom of the Available puppies page it says Contact Timothy or Barbara, hmm...when did Barbara come into the picture? They are not doing this to better these breeds, they are doing this for the money so there's no way that every one of these puppies is as healthy as a horse. They wouldn't make a profit if all of these different puppies were as healthy as they could be. Just because they're in a clean environment in the pictures doesn't mean that they live in a clean environment. Sorry, I always get very suspicious with things like this

The person claims he has a staff.. so Barbara may be his staff.. haha. The whole thing looks suspicious to me too.. I wouldnt consider buying a dog from this person. Im a very untrusting person when it comes to this puppy biz... I would never consider buying a dog sight unseen.. I have to meet the breeder in person, see the conditions at the breeders home...etc.. Take a look at this one; http://www.nextdaypets.com/directory/dogs/b23c8d49-71a1.aspx Click on their website.. First of all, the picture showing the westie on the ad, was not taken by the seller.. Why is it so small.. I will add though, its a pretty good looking westie pup..

You maybe right about the picture and info posted on the website.. Lets face it, you can't really trust people and whta they say or tell you on a website. Your best bet is to contact a breeder who you feel is responsible.. and take a trip to meet them in person.. otherwise, you never know where your little cute puppy came from.
3/2/2005 3:14:10 PM
That little pup on the website does look in very good condition but I can't help but wonder if that's a picture taken from the internet pretending it is one of their pups...If you look at the picture of the westie on that link you gave me in nextdaypets the picture of the puppy is a thumbnail image. I think that this is also a stolen picture that when the person tried to maximize it, it was a broken image so they had to settle for the thumbnail. I also hate it when people say Shipping and Handling. This is a living, breathing thing, it's not some package that you're just going to send through the mail. I have never and will never ship a puppy for any reason. It is very stressful on their little bodies and being at such a young age they are too vulnerable. http://www.petuniverse.org/dynamic_(soft_mauve)_005.htm If you look at the pictures of the puppies and keep clicking next it looks more and more like a puppy mill to me. There are numerous puppies/dogs kept in the same cages. Why don't people treat animals better? I don't understand it
3/2/2005 3:33:47 PM
Yup, looks like a miller to me too.. Gee, it looks like the wood in those cages are still wet from hosing them down. No way would a responsible breeder keep their puppies in a cage or wooden cage like these in the pics. The wood cages look very small too. So sad! It really breaks my heart to see the abuse that so many animals endure. Last night our local news reported a stray lab mix puppy that was found with its ears and tail cut off.. They need to make the animal cruelty punishment more severe... most get a slap on the hand and relatively small fine.

Yeah I know what you mean. If you can be so cruel to an animal then you can do the same to a human. They say we need to treat our animals like they're one of us (which I do) but when someone abuses them they say "Okay, here you can pay a 1000 dollar fine for beating your animal." I put my puppies in a very large crate but they do not stay in there 24/7. That is to know their boundaries and to crate train so the new owners have something to work with. Keeping a puppy/dog/cat in a cage all of its life is no way to live. Yeah some of the people that do this get put in a cage (prison) but they are rather large cages. These people will put their puppies in a crate fit for a rabbit and cram like 5-6 pups in it sitting with their own feces and urine. I can't even begin to explain how these people make me feel
