I know why you thought I was near Wichita when you googled Prairie Village it came back near Wichita. Good old Kansas has two counties in it with the same name Prairie Village. One is Butler county near Wichita and I an in Johnson County.

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.
