Makes you wonder

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?

I am confused? AJ said that he saw a sign for puppies for sale with different breeds, but not Basenjis? As in it was a puppy miller?

@AJs:
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!
This is one I am talking about looking at. See breeds and how they are cared for. Don't have anything else to do over four days.

The signs were sheets of plywood painted black with white writing on them. I was headed westbound and there wasn't anywhere to pull a big truck off. Amish folks drive their wagons and carriages on the shoulders along that highway a lot.
P.S. (Tanza….he's a she.) :)

Thank you Belinda, gives me something to do. Off subject we have been a little down at our house three weeks ago my best friend found out her husband has cancerlevel 4. He wanted to go home to die and he went home today now just wait not eating or drinking just keeping him asleep.
Back to subject this will be good for me to do never know what I might find. Yes that part of country is full of horses and buggy's.Rita Jean

Sorry about your friend's hubby. It's never easy, is it.
I'm judging a book by its cover on the puppy thing, but from what I've seen on these forums, a sign of puppy mills is more than a breed or two, cheap advertising and having "pups available" on demand. With all the breeds listed on those signs, I immediately began to wonder…
As I said earlier, though, I did not see Basenji listed among the several breeds on the sign. (There were 6 or 7 breeds listed.) The yellow building is one of those steel buildings you buy then they come and put it up in a couple hours. You can see it from the highway, but (again, not sure) it might not even be THAT property on Rainbow Road.

Amish folks are big into puppy mills..they supply a lot of petstores I read somewhere..I will see if I can find info on it..

Thank you no not easy we have been friends since I was six years old we have seen alot over years always been there for each other.
I do not care just go look as I said gives me something to do then at least I do not just sit at home and wait on phone. I can go get a puppy fix with puppy smell.
