OK I'm about to explode! The worste designer breed site YET!

Ehhh, WOC has been around for a looong time. Many complaints. Many fools who fall for the glitz and glam. Many sick puppies. Many puppy fatalities. Many congenitive problems. And even more excuses. What else is new about BYBs and pup millers? *sigh*

Do a simple search for WOC and you'll find many websites similar to the above. It's so sickening and my heart is so numb, it doesnt even feel like much to me anymore

Thats gross they BID on puppy mill puppies for their pet stores!!!! UGH!!

This is so sick!

Our breeders take pride in producing the finest, tiniest puppies.They might be the tiniest representation of their breed, a rare color or a face that is exceptional.

It says that on the "Special Extraordinary Puppies" ( ) section... So, they try to make stupid people think that puppies are more purebred if they are tiny??? That's so sick!

Who is the number one supporter of mixed breeds? The answer is AKC. All breeds started from a combination of breeds. Today breeders are breeding mixes that soon could be recognized: LABRADOODLE, ORI-PEI, MALTESE/POODLE, etc.

Poor puppies, it's so sad to know about all the health problems they will have through their lifes, if they make it to survive...

THATS SICK! They say your adopting a puppy!

[Roxyluvsme13]

All I have to say is there is no way these puppies can be healthy. The rare breed section is what upset me. They're all mutts, there's nothing rare about them! This really makes me sad and angry.

I don't know much about laws where you live - but is the Humane Society or SPCA not against puppy mills?

Even local bylaws, or if enough people wrote/called?

Our local HS here shut down a puppy mill a couple of years ago, and saved all the puppies they could(my mechanic has one of them; took two years for the poor boy to completely socialize, he had been kennelled. Now he is at the shop and a sweetie to all!)

I just don't understand how WOC can still exist!

Sick and tragic.

That one link is really interesting. Buttercup, the guy on there has already done the "pretending to be a customer" deal - you might want to read his experience.

The couple who runs it - he was prosecuted, is an ex-jailbird anyway - so the business is now in HER name! They are NO longer members of the BBB!

Now to nail her, I guess.

They have no email for public use that I can find, and stopped their chatline. There are some Florida attorneys working on them...I am sure they are just waiting for the right moment...

Sheesh...I hope they get those idiots soon!

Dressing up ill puppies like dolls - what egos! And no hearts!

Is this puppy cross-eyed?

[Giselle]

Is this puppy cross-eyed?

Nope. Chances are that the pup will grow into those huge eyes soon enough. Even the most well bred Pugs, Boston Terriers, Pekingeses, and similarly built dogs can have those frog eyes. It's a puppy thing, I think. That doesn't mean to excuse WOC from any of these atrocities.

OMG! they are selling great danes! that's terrible! it may be more then one breeder, but the puppies aren't even anywhere close to their breed standard! the mixes that are going for hundres of $$ aren't even mixed for any reason. just to have more puppies! don't these people see that there are PLENTY of dogs dieing in shelters EVERYDAY!!!

look at this beagle puppy this place is selling! $799 for a puppy that isn't anywhere close to being what the breed standard says it should look like!

I feel so sorry for the puppies!!!! There are too many pups in this world without homes, that need to be adopted and rescued. There should be a law on how many breeders can breed more pups in the USA and other countries to.!!!!!!We need to put a stop to this over breeding problem!!!!!
