no it does not seem to end you are right,it seems that the puppy farmer is getting,bigger,fatter and richer,what beets me is that the rspca do not go in and do something,its disgusting,i bought a cav a couple of wks ago and have decided i would like another,i rang 2 breeders close to where i live both were advertising on an internet site not this one,both never had parents,could deliver and had got them from wales,both siad the puppies are a little nervous,HOW SAD.seems there are as many dealers as puppy farmers now,infact the puppy farmer is now hideing behind the dealers,i makes me sick.

I have never heard of it. I would never dream of buying a puppy from a place like this but yes I wasn't like that years ago. I bought my cavalier from a kennel and found out she had come from a puppy farm in wales. Never even heard of puppy farms before that. I was very lucky as she was healthy as were all the other pups at the kennel. The kennel as now closed down as people are not that stupied as to buy a puppy from a place like that anymore.

I have bought a dog from dogs-for-us it comes with all its paperwork it shows who her parents and grandparents were also who the breeder is, address of the breeder and also the breeders vets name and address. I felt very safe buying from these people after bad experiences buying from so called registered breeders

Yes i agree with diane,well done for keeping the puppy farmers going,I must say you are a 1st that i have heard sing their praises,You have bought a dog without seeing the parents,You have paperwork are you sure its all correct and above board,Those people are a gloryfied puppy farmer,Well done.
i have been to the main one ..its right near where i live. when we went in,we thought it was just a pet store/kennels that maybe sold rabbits and stuff etc..but there are sooooo many puppies at the big main one near me...the pups are all soooo beautiful and its such a shame that there stuck there,with no human contact.i myself found it upsetting,and at the time was tempted to buy one just to get it out of there,but then we realised we'd just be giving them space to buy another from a puppy farmer,ive never been back.

I have never been but know many who have,how sad i would be cryin 4 a wk seeing all those puppies waitin 4 homes.
in the main one near me there are a lot of diffrent breeds.the cheapest pups they have in there are labradoodles at £500 but in all honesty for all the other breeds there price adverage is about £700...so i dont no why anyone would bother buying from them or how they get sales..cos pups are not £700.
