Saw this today. Has a nice quote from basenji breeder, Brad Phifer.

"The price of puppies for sale" by Roxanne Hawn.

I hope it reaches a broad audience so people can understand where they should get their puppies from.

Yes, she's my favorite. She's so pretty…

She may just grow up to be a spectacular bitch. I hope to see her pics as an adult.

It's a step in the right direction. This is a lawmaking function that should be reserved to the states individually, according to the 10th Amendment anyway. Dogs are not livestock and are not going to be used for food. Therefore, USDA does not really have a stake in regulating them. USDA garners its power under the "Regulate Commerce" clause of the Constitution's Preamble, a section that was never intended to carry the weight of law. (See Federalists Paper #41.)

@kiroja:

Pat, I heard from Linda this weekend and Boo IS preggers! Just thought I would let you know. 🙂 At least 4 pups were seen, but she usually gets a little more than what shows up. One is very small though and probably won't make it. So at least 3 little babies on the way!

And fingers crossed that Kylie cooperates next time for your new plans. 🙂 I'm so happy that Parry will get his Jaadii kids.

Cool… thanks for letting me know.... and yes, we are hoping that Kylie is ready for "Motherhood" .....gggg And we are excited about our possible Jaadii kids!

@helle-devi said in Puppy Scams (NBC Today show report):

Pedigrees can be verified on the Zande pedigree database

And in a kind of negative way, if the parents are NOT listed on my web pedigree database, it is entirely possible that the breeder is a puppy-farmer and therefore well nigh impossible for me to obtain data from. I would be suspicious.

There are a few who health test breeding stock - these I get from OFA. But often only one dog is tested / registered from a litter of 6. You can get an idea of the number in a litter from the last two digits on a registration. If, for example, the Mom's reg# ends in /05, and she apparently has no siblings. . . alarm bells might sound too. She does have at least 4 brothers and sisters - so why are they not listed ?

I do spend hours each week, checking for siblings on the AKC website once I get a registration, date of birth and Mom.
