    Skylar came from a breeder in South Carolina. I wouldn't exactly call her a BYB. We are still friends with her, and talk to her on occasion.

    Deebo
    came from a breeder in TN. They are BYB's. They have way too many dogs. They take very good care of all the dogs they have and call the people who by their pups just to check up on them. But I wouldn't trade my little man for anything in the world.

    Isabelle came from a horrible disgusting BYB. We bought her to get her out of the filth she was living in. We are very lucky she has not been sick.

    Prissy
    was rescued from the road. She almost got hit by several different cars. After all attempts failed at finding her owners, we have decided to keep her. We have a feeling she might be pregnant. So, she will be going home with my girlfriend and I to South Carolina when we go back. My mother wants to keep her. My mom has no clue how to birth pups if she is indeed pregnant, so she is sending her back with us until they come to visit us in SC in September.

    Morgan (new pit pup ), obviously came from a BYB. She's only 4 weeks old and they said that since she was eating hard food, she was ready to go to her new home. They said if we didn't take her now, they would just sell her to someone else. I even asked them to hold her until she was 8-10 weeks old. Morgan is a co-ownership thing with my friend.

    Annie came from a lady who I rescued a pregnant pug/boxer mix from. I saw Annie there when I went to pick up Baby (the pregnant dog) and asked if she was trying to find a home for her too. She said no, but if she ever decided to do so, she would let me be the first to know. Low and behold, when Baby's pups were 1 week old, she calls and said that she wants to get rid of Annie. Annie was 3 months old when I got her.

    Bailee is Annie's daughter. We did not know Annie was in heat, and we were babysitting my mom's friends double dapple dachshund for her while she was out of town. He got her pregnant. We didn't even know Annie was pregnant until about 4 days before she had her puppies because she was showing no signs of it at all. She started getting big, and when I rubbed her belly, the babies would start moving around. Bailee was the only girl in the litter, and the only black and tan dapple one, so we decided to keep her. Annie and Bailee both live with my parents. Both Annie and Bailee were spayed at the same time, so there is no chance of any accidents with them anymore.

    Jesse came from a lady who bred her ESS on purpose, and I think was trying to get into breeding ESS's for a business, but I am not sure. She could've been a byb. Honestly, I never knew about them before I became part of PT.

    Sammy sadly came from a pet store in Grand Forks, ND (it is actually a pretty good pet store, the puppies are all vacinated, and healthy, tanks are clean, but I still don't want animals from them.)

    Jemi' came from one of my friends who rescued her mom. The mom was going to be PTS because she was bred, and my friends stepdad jumped in and saved her! They couldn't keep both of Sadie's (the mom) puppies, so I got one

    Steph, Jes, Sam, and Jemi'

    most of my past dogs have come from the Humane society, or they found me as strays. But Duke came from a family that couldnt properly care for him, and Jake came from a friend of mine who had an accidental litter.

    they all are from accidental litters of "free" adds in the paper.

    Ginger was my grandma's dog and my mom inherited her from my grandma when she passed away in 2003, but she was from an accidental litter when my grandma got her.

    Nebo came from a BYB. Not a particularly horrible one, just a lady who happened to have two siberian huskies and she bred them. I highly doubt she health tested the parents, only one of the parents was AKC registered (the other was supposed to but she didn't get the papers or something like that...either way Nebo is not registered).

    Reggie was also from a BYB, well I guess...he has AKC papers I have no idea if the parents were show quality, but I don't think Reggie is even close. I was a kid when we got him and knew nothing of good and bad breeders. A co-worker of my dad's bred schnauzers and Reggie was the last pup in the litter that they couldn't find a home for. They gave him to us for free.

    My sister bought Sydney, I don't know anything about the breeder other than Syd was the last pup in the litter again. She has papers, I have no idea if her parents were tested or shown or anything like that. We just ended up with her somehow lol, we didn't go out and buy her.
