First I would like to say my
family is a licensed business and breeder. We are an LLC
company that was formed in 2005. This helps protect our
puppy parents and us.

Y ou will need to do
research to find out if your breeder should be state
licensed or inspected. Some state have laws and some
don't.
Finding a new companion on the
internet can be a fun and safe experience if you take
the time and make sure you are dealing with a real
business, and true loving breeder.
Many puppy mill's and back yard
breeders operate with out a business license or with out
even being inspected by anyone.
MANY of them do mix breed dogs, maltipoo, shih poo,
shichons, shorkies, or any other mix so they don't have
to register the puppies they produce. Some will also
sell purebred puppies with NO PAPERS. Some registry
will do an inspection on your place if you register so
many puppies. Over the last several years several
organizations report an increasing number of complaints
concerning online pet sales, including the American
Kennel Club, the Council of Better Business Bureaus, the
Humane Society of the United States and the Internet
Crime Complaint Center.
It takes special people to be a
Professional ethical responsible breeder, not every one
can do it. Professional breeders are knowledgeable,
about what they are breeding, the good and the bad, they
also NEVER over breed their dogs, they take steps to be
a licensed business, inspected and always there for
their puppy parents no matter what.
Unfortunately on the internet
today around 90% of the breeders listed are NOT a
licensed business or inspected. Puppy parents every
where needs to realize if you deal with a unlicensed
business they have NO
RECOURSE if there
is ever a problem. Also most contracts are voided. So
what dose this mean for puppy parents? If you decide to
go with illegal unlicensed businesses you most likely
have given away any money you paid for the puppy and
keep these fly by night breeders (scammers) puppy mills
in business, or in a worse case you will pay for a puppy
and NEVER get a puppy or maybe even the wrong puppy.
It is very easy for scammers/
breeders to change their domain name and phone number
then move on to the next hard working person to steal
their money and give them the heart ache of a poorly
bred puppy, or no puppy at all.
One of the ways you can make
sure you get a happy, healthy, puppy is devoting your
time researching before you adopt your puppy. Make sure
the breeder you choose to use is licensed. This can help
insure a happy ending for you and your puppy..
Breeding
dogs is a very serious business and should be ran as
such. Breeders, weather they are ethical or unethical or
even a scammer can make THOUSANDS of dollars a year.
For an example lets say a breeder
has 6 females and 1 male. Lets say each female has 5
puppies if they sold them all for 600.00 that would be
$3000.00 if you times that by 6 that would give you an
income of 18,000.00 a year. That is if you only breed
the females one a year. If the breeder breeds their dogs
back to back not giving them any rest it could be 36,000
a year.
This income is more then some
people make working a full time job. When you work a job
they take out tax's and you pay your income tax's. When
back-yard breeders, scammers, or unlicensed breeders
don't have a business licensed they are NOT paying their
taxes. Like the rest of us do. If you buy from them you
are more likely to have issues, because they only breed
for MONEY. They care less about the long term, they just
want that quick buck.
YOU CAN HELP STOP THEM... YOU ASK
