This info was emailed to me the other day. Sorry I'm posting it on here so late, but I lost internet access. While it isn't illegal to auction off animals, I found it rather disturbing that it is actually happening. They talk about "the best of the best", sound, top quality dogs available, however, true top quality dogs from responsible breeders would not be this easy to obtain. I never knew people auctioned off dogs, but it doesn't take much to figure out the kinds of people who will be attending these auctions: more backyard breeders and puppy millers looking to re-up their breeding stock. These auctions are good ways for backyard breeders to unload access dogs or clean out their kennels when they go out of business. They also mentioned Shih-poos are available. I want to know what these dogs are "the best" of? I've already sent a letter to these people, but I have my doubts that one letter is going to make much of a difference in these peoples' quest to make money. If you feel that this sort of auction is wrong and only contributing to puppy mills and pet overpopulation, please contact Bob and Sheila Hughes. They try to make it seem like they are doing a great service to the community by holding this auction, but those of us in animal rescue know better and know that one day we will be cleaning up the messes this auction will inevitably create. The first auction has, I'm sure, come and gone this past weekend, but you can still voice your opinion for the future auction they are holding in September.
