As the season for Basenji puppies is upon us, I found this ad on PuppyFind… you would think that if wanted to be taken seriously, this person would learn to spell
"i am a very perticular breeder of quality rare breeds of puppies,
basenjis, shiba inu, and toy schnauzers (4-8 pounds with teddy bear faces)"And there is no such thing as a "toy" schnauzer, at least not in the breed standard... yet another example of "designer" dogs.. or in this case, very poor breeding

Yikes! "with teddy bear faces".:mad:

Can you say "for profit" breeder???

Would that be synonymous with "Puppy Mill" by chance? Reminds me of a sign I saw next to the highway a couple days ago just east of Harrisonville, MO. There were six or seven different breeds of dog listed on the sign with "Puppies Next Right" and a phone number. I couldn't reach my camera or I would have taken a photo to share here.

Yes, its all a nightmare for the dogs, sold to anyone with $$$ and no health care
for the pups, and for the moms even worse.
Breaks my heart. -

Great! :mad: Just like having a fruit stand along the highway. "Pull over dear, let's get a basket of strawberries and a badly bred puppy". :(

That one was located between Creighton and Harrisonville just off MO Hwy 7 at Rainbow Rd. They didn't list Basenji, but I wish someone would check them out. I'll be willing to bet the dogs are housed in the big yellow steel building. I don't remember the exact breeds, but there were several breeds of small dogs and at least 1 of large. Some sort of Lab if I remember right. I sure wish I'd had my camera handy!

You can contact the ASPCA.

Sadly, in come areas, having dogs kept this way is no different than keeping hogs or sheep…
They can do anything they want with "lifestock".

So sad, yet so common..
Since it has become such a hit to carry small dogs in purses/bags, the toy breeds, newly invented or older breeds will die out in popularity for a long time, many BYB, puppy mills and the like can squeeze even more dogs into a cage or building, because of the small size of the animal..thus it is even more so a moneymaker. Have you seen the prices on some of these designer breeds..outrageous..
..we can give thanks to the hollywood peeps, media and breeders supplying them..it is a viscious circle…and in my opinion, they are not even cute... -
Rita Jean, do let us know what you find out.

So, will you be able to go look at this dog?
