I won't make a comment on breeders here. If you have room in your home and your heart, I'm sure that they would appreciate you adopting one! I realize it's a long way to go to adopt a pet, but it's better than the alternative!

The ASPCA Field Investigations and Response (FIR) Team is in Rowan County, Kentucky, helping care for 118 small-breed dogs including Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Papillons, Min Pins and Poodles—several pregnant and some just a few weeks old—who were removed from horrifyingly filthy, cramped cages on October 6.

Before you ask, I would think seriously about it. However, my Condo complex only allows two animals per condo and I'm looking to adopt another cat.

Hey I'm from RC, did they say anything about adoption?

This is Rowan County, Kentucky! But there was something in the article about adoption. They said in a week the Prosecutor should be ready to let them go to adoption. If I remember right.

Sorry, it was 118 not 188 dogs in the title. I changed it, but the original title doesn't change.

I've never really understood the hate for breeders, although I haven't researched it. I want to get a dog in the next few months and would prefer a puppy because I want a dog that I can train and for him to grow with me and that's the only reason I looked at breeders.

Sure it is, but a breeder doesn't necessarily run a puppy mill.

I'll try one time:

Breeding

Dog breeding is the practice of mating selected specimens with the intent to maintain or produce specific qualities and characteristics.

Breeding relies on the science of genetics, so the breeder with a knowledge of canine genetics, health, and the intended use for the dogs attempts to breed suitable dogs.

Puppy Mill

the term ‘puppy mills’ or ‘puppy farms’ refers to businesses that mass produce puppies of different breeds

If you can't see the difference then you are a retard.

I started a thread on this a month ago and found that people are pretty confused about the whole issue while at the same time very very aggressive.

A good breeder is great I think as long as you do your research.

A puppy mill is a type of breeder, albeit not a reputable one, puppy mill puppies more often than not come with pedigree's and papers, but that isn't necessarily an indictment of a healthy or genetically stable breed.

However, not all breeders run puppy mills, as the more reputable ones are very specific about their breeding habits and genetic makeup, not to mention the living standards.

There are in fact "puppy mills" that are legally registered with the USDA. The only difference is that one is a mass production and one is a not. It's the difference of buying a purse from Walmart or a Coach purse from Dillards.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
