in my own opinion......breeders are to puppy mills like target is to macys

Amen!

When we got Ozzy, our blue pom, we found he had a condition called leather ear. He had no hair on his ears or tail.

He came from champion lines and the breeder did not want anyone to find out a *bad* pup came from their high-priced litter, so they dumped him at night at 8weeks old in the heat of the summer.

He was half a pound.

There's a special place in H-E double hockey sticks....


Lor - congrats on your new buddy! So, what's her name?
