Well we didnt actually see their living conditions she brought us in the house with the pups & parents. When we went there 3 years ago for Rita the conditions were good but we didnt see them this time, the pups and adults smelled real bad though, she said she was not giving the pups baths until they went to homes because she didnt want the others to catch a cold like the female did. I dont really know, but we have decided it was in our best interest to look at another breeder, although i feel so bad for the innocent pups, they deserve good loving homes.
