I had not realized till after bought willie (shit-zu) from a pet store that he came from puppy mill. After investigating further even found the mill out west at a Amish farm. It was horrifying, dirty and in humane to treat animals this way. T first visit to vet, the veterinary told me about lazy eye was straying to one side, he had asthma badly and had other deformities to mention. He is now 10 years old and with lots of love and many visits to his vet lives pretty well, all things considered. I cannot express enough to everyone who loves or wants a normal pup, to never get a puppy from these mills, most of them from the Amish community, finding out. It is perfectly legal in culture, but how they get away with this is beyond me. And how do the general population allow to go on legally or otherwise. It would be better to get rid of all and shut down then to have to live and breed this way where some females feet do not hit the floor. I love animals more than people, and not just saying that just to say. Dogs have feelings, a warm heart and just want to serve owners. PLEASE TELL ME HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS AND WHY ARE WE ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN. First timer. It is hard for me to even think about this going on in my head and have a new view on the Amish. The suffering of these dogs is criminal and we need to stop thinking our companions are property, as the law states.

I found a site online selling Cockerpoo puppies in Charlotte, NC
They gav e a phone number but the area code is not for Charlotte. They are selling the puppies for $650, and the y even deliver the puppy directly to your home. It is called Cockerpoo Puppy Farm. It seems unreal, as these dogs are selling for over $3,000 elsewhere.

What do u think?

It is advertised as a purebred Blue Heeler but not registered. No pics of the Dam or Sire. No mention of them actually. I am suspicious even though this is a reputable site. Perhaps the Breeder slipped through Greenfield’s cracks?

Absolutely not! Any good breeder will do refundable deposits, healt certs,1 year health guarantee to be free of genetic defects, and stay in contact as to the adjustment of the pup in the new home. Otherwise please don’t peruse that breeder

Hi Debbie, I’m afraid it’s not something I have much knowledge about – however, The Labrador Forum https://thelabradorforum.com/ is very friendly (and not just for Lab owners by any means). You might find someone there who has experience of it. We also have an article on Cavaliers here that might be of interest: https://thehappypuppysite.com/which-breed-of-puppy-looking-at-cavalier-king-charles-spaniels/

Is there anything I can do, or any organisation I can contact to report this seller. Thank you

Hi Barry, glad your puppy is doing ok now. There are various books aimed at different behaviour problems. So it would depend on what you are looking for. Pippa
