Wow the begining is awesome. I dont have anything to add but can you post it when it's all done? I'd love to read it!

Well, I could tell you my personal experience with a BYB (Nova is from one). Although, it's not very exciting lol. She just has really bad allergies -- recurring rashes and ear infections. They are uncomfortable for her and cost us lots of money. We've already spent way more on her in vet bills than we ever would have if we just spent the $800 up front to get a well-bred dog, and we've only had her for 7 months. We didn't know any better, though, and either way she is still the light of my life

I know of some real horror stories with Puppy mills. I'll try to find them and post them for you. I may not have saved them, though.

Oh that's so sad! I'm e-mailing them and asking if I could use Spartan's story. Can anyone tell me what I should say(well not exactly to say) about why "your topic apply's to your audience"?

Just tell them the truth I'm sure they'd be happy to help in any way possible
