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.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
