This article was in our local paper today.

Their excuse for the huge number of registered breeders is pretty shocking. They say that in other states there are twice as many breeders operating "under the radar." So by that reasoning, Missouri could have 3,000 unregistered breeders. Fantastic.

it is hideous here becuase of the milder winters and the not too hot in the summer. Worst part is you see them set up in front of stores.. a litter of goldens here and there..i like to stop and ask them questions while they have the group of people all admiring..questions like do you have the mother and father i could see..where are you from..arghhhhh they hate me and i don't care. The worst part when you have made it 100 percent apparent to anyone with a 10th of a brain that this is not good at all they still buy the pup. sigh

Here is a link to a petition to try to try to stop the latest one that received a permit to operate.
