Funny, I would classify that as a puppy mill.

To me a byb is a breeder who doesn't health test there dogs (example. Hips, eyes, thyroid, elbows, and etc) also someone who doesn't show there dogs, so they don't know if there standard, or if someone doesn't field test the sporting breeds, herding with the herding breeds.

Someone who does it for the money, there dog's could be parents, because there dog's make great pets, there dogs are cute, or they want double of there dogs.

Someone in the chi thread said they don't care about there dogs, they are only in it for the money and that's what makes a BYB. I disagree with that completely. I know many byb's who do it for the experience of there children, but also care about there dogs deeply, they are just ignorant about the right way to breed.

I work at a dog kennel and train dogs, I hear all the "excuses" in the book of why they should breed.
