| I bought a dog there this year and I can see what you are saying. His employees are either very well trained or they are just outright lying! They swear their dogs aren't from puppy mills, but yet I traced my dog right to a puppy mill! |

| how ridiculous this is...your daughter works for a business, badmouths the business to the other employees and your upset because the manager finds out about it and sat her down and admonished her for speaking badly about a business that she collects a paycheck from? This is absurd! If what she believes is true, why would she work there? I would do the same thing as that manager did if I found out one of my workers was badmouthing the company I work for! And, for the record, your comment is slanderous and you could be up for a liable lawsuit for claiming this company is "unlawful" and a "puppymill". Especially since you aren't even the person that works there! It sounds like you are an overprotective Mom with little knowledge of the business world. If your daughter is an adult, back off and let her grow up and get yourself a hobby! |

| If your daughter is old enough to work then she is old enough to take care of her self. I bought A GREAT PUPPY there and the staff was extreamly helpful. They helped me out in every way that they could. What you should do is let your kid live her life and stand up for her self. However she was tought just "marry rich". If she cant work in a kenel how can she work anywhere else. TIME TO GROW UP BOTH OF YOU! |

| I'd like to set the record straight here, as a former employee of a similar business. Pet stores are not puppy mills. Puppy mills are farms that mass produce puppies for wholesale to pet stores. Most, if not all, pet stores that sell dogs acquire their animals from puppy mills. This includes Breeders' Association of America in Brick, NJ. How do I know this? Well, I used to work at Shake A Paw in Toms River, and I remember the names of the brokers they dealt with. (A broker is the middle man between puppy mill and pet store. Brokers are used to make it more difficult to trace the facility which bred the animal.) Many of these facilities are located in the midwest, which has recently become well-known for problems with the commercial dog breeding facilities also known as puppy mills. Years ago, when I worked at a pet store, puppy mills in Pennsylvania received the most media attention, which fostered a naive assumption that puppy mills were a problem specific to that one state. When working at Shake A Paw, I was told that the puppies were acquired from reputable breeders and that all of these breeders were inspected by the USDA to ensure they were not puppy mills. This explanation sounded reasonable to me, since I was very young and naive. I am certain that many employees of puppy stores share these circumstances and are simply parroting the company rhetoric that they themselves believe when asked. I didn't confront my boss when I found out that I was being lied to. I simply found another job and quit. All a confrontation would have accomplished was to cause animosity between myself and the store owner, and probably gotten me a bad reference when seeking another job. If it was, in fact, illegal to sell puppies mass produced in commercial kennels, maybe a confrontation would have been in order. The truth of the matter is that this business, while unethical, is not illegal, and not every dog acquired from a pet store is unhealthy and encumbered with behavioral problems. When you purchase a dog from these facility, your chances of getting a sick or healthy puppy are probably about 50/50, but the same goes for acquiring a dog through various other means. Any person who breeds an animal solely for profit is not taking genetics into account. The real tragedy in puppy mills is for your dogs' parents, who are kept in cramped and overcrowded conditions and forced to push out litter after litter. As for Breeders' Association, two brokers that I know they have in common with the now closed Shake A Paw are Pine Springs Pets (where many of Shake A Paw's sickest dogs came from, ) and Hunte. I know they use them because a couple of acquaintances who purchased dogs from them allowed me to see their paperwork, and I wasn't surprised to see their names listed as brokers. Many pet stores will tell you that USDA inspection ensures your dog was not bred in a commercial facility- this is a flat out lie. The truth is that the USDA only inspects commercial dog breeding facilities. If you're a customer in such a place and you hear this line, correct them as loudly as possible- so that others can hear- and leave without purchasing. This cannot be misconstrued as slander, since the law under which the USDA is required to inspect mass breeding facilities will back you up. I would, however, recommend employees to leave their jobs more quietly and advise others in private to never purchase a puppy from any store specializing in them. It's sad that most of the effort to stop puppy mills has been focused on the stores themselves, since when one is successfully closed, another pops up elsewhere in the area. I think that a stronger legislative effort to stop commercial dog breeding would be more successful. Closing these facilities is tantamount to cutting out the heart of the beast. |
