Hi everyone

I am new here

My mum and me are going to get a dog soon, we have decided on a pugalier puppy. We have found a breeder in Pembrokeshire and we have emailed them and are waiting their reply.

However I noticed that this place has many puppies for sale. They say they are fully licensed and on epupz there is this sign to show that the cousil have approved their kennels and they have checks often however I noticed that lots of sites say to be wary of places selling lots of dogs and I dont want to buy from somewhere that is anything like a puppy farm and treats their animals badly

notice how there are lots of listings from the same place:

What do you think, does this look like a safe place to buy or not?

Looking at those ads just scream puppy farmer to me. I would avoid like the plague if I was you. Just sounds like someone trying to make money by crossing as many breeds as they can. I can't for one minute imagine all the relevant health tests etc have been done, because if they had why are they not breeding pedigrees instead?

No I don't think it's a good place to buy puppies from,if they are licensed it means they are breeding 5+ litters per year,sounds very much like a puppy farm to me.

I have just found their website it is frightening so no I would definately not buy a pup from there jmho

Me too. Things like that make me feel a bit sick!

leah-pardo, I am sorry to say it is extremely unlikely you'll find a decent breeder of cross-breeds. Also, it is hard to know how they will turn out, as they may take more characteristics from one breed than the other. Why not go for a pedigree dog from health tested parents?

Can someone PM me a link to their website please - Thanks

i know only too well how you must be feeling.i have wanted a white toy poodle for, well ages to say the est.and the best looking ones i have seen have been from someone that has puppies for sale almost every single day..dont get me wrong, these pups look just what i want..but the fact that they breed so many and with advice from this forum memebers..i could'nt buy from them..give it time, you will get what you are after

.......... I HATE TWO FACED PEOPLE...ITS SO HARD TO KNOW WHICH FACE TO SLAP FIRST!

I know what breeder you`re talking about I think. I live in Pembrokeshire and thats where I bought Harvey from. I can only give you my honest opinion on it. Yes there is a wide variety in pups. They are housed in pens. The pens are kept clean and dry with sawdust and shredded paper. Any individual pups left from litters, do tend to get paired up with a friend to keep them company, but yes at the end of the day it is a business to these people and unfortunately, to them the pups are just stock.
