dogsgalore Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 A friend of mine wants a pug puppy but we have no breeders anywhere near or far. There was an ad in the paper with pug puppies for sale a backyard breeder. Would it be wrong for him to buy one from this person if the parents and pups were well cared for, had their shots, and such? Any input would be appreciated, thanks. :) Quote
Lokipups Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 :o I'd be very leery with those ads in the papers for puppies, something like 75% of those ads are actually brokers for smaller puppymills. You'll get there to look at the pups and be told that they're just doing the owners a favor watching the pups, and the parents are not on the premises. The mills essentially pay people to do the selling for them when they have excess "stock". Stock- what a lovely thing to call another living creature :evil: . Quote
Beach Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Or the Pug rescue. Here is one website for them but they are all over http://www.rescuepug.com/ Quote
Lucky Chaos Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 How far would this person be willing to look? I know about 3 pugs and can get the breeder's contact for you but I'm in Ontario... Quote
