    I put "other" because Just like in the general public you have people that mistreat animals and have puppy mills. I do not believe all Amish should suffer
    because of the sins of a few.

    I agree with kokopup. We live in an area where there are many Amish, and none of them "raise" dogs. They are in construction and farming - have a wonderful, huge, general store when you can purchase all their wares, from baked goods, fresh meats, candies, quilts, furniture, etc, and all are home made or home raised.

    The only Amish puppy mills that I know of in reasonable proximity to here, would be in the Lancaster and surroundings areas in PA.

    I don't have a problem with purchasing from any of the Amish in this area.

    wow I just read my post... me fail english? that's unpossible LOL

    They grow delicious crops and make extraordinary crafts is what I meant to say.

    yes there are bad apples but for the most part they are a good and hardworking people.

    Some of the things said in this thread are ... wow. To me all the generalizations and accusations are akin to saying you wouldn't by from an african american because they are gang members. it's ridiculous.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
