Too late

1983 & 86 bought gifted golden - from pet stores -aka puppy mills. received papers to send in & register with AKC. Kacee the older one was fairly smart, Kisha younger, mentally challenged - she acted like a puppy all her life and even at age 12 people said how old's your puppy. I DIDN'T know anything about puppy mills then Both had health problems and one or the other was at the vet about every 2 months, ear infection, skin infections, allergies, anxiety. I think things would have been worse if I didn't feed natural & holistic foods. My third came after another 2 years, from breeder. Rarely saw vet. Great health, great body form. One disadvantage was epelepdic seirsures at about 8 or 9 - controlled with med. K & K also died of cancer at over 14, and that they made it that long was truly a blessing from God.

When I did volunteer work at a shelter (actually it was at the shelter but done by DART members) that also did investigation, I remember the day they brought in "puppy mill breeder dogs. These dogs were fearful and agressive, they needed tlc and to learn to trust, physically the also were in poor shape. We need to stop buying AT ALL pet store that sell DOGS & cATS
