Glam Puppies- Micros and Teacups
glampuppies@yahoo.com

I am Terbear's Terriers and T-cups, I raise Yorkies, Chihuahuas and Maltese. I also have some individual breeds,(owning only one of a breed)that I own b/c I want to, and if they are not spayed, occasionally I do bred them.

I want to give my opinion about Cesar and "Puppy mills". First off, I have seen plenty of episodes where Cesar has worked with a fellow rescuer, and she does have her dogs in kennels.But large Kennels, or runs (kennel runs). And at his new Dog Physiology Center, he DOES have kennel runs. I have heard some "breeders" be very offended by this video clip of Ceasar's. Personally it does not offend me.

If you listen to what he is saying, breeders being offended, may be treating their dogs in the manner he is complaining about.He talks about keeping them in small crate type kennels,(not large kennel runs) over crowded, and un-groomed. Un-socialized by owners/breeders who are de-sensitized to their dogs period.

He isn't putting down breeders, of which he says "breeders, care where their dogs go, and want to prepare their new owners."

I do not sell my puppies to a Pet Store b/c I DO want to know where my puppies go, i want photos back, and to know I placed my puppy in a loving family environment. And if you have ever talked to me, preparing is essential to me!!! I am available for support the life time of the puppy.

I know kennel breeders, and the majority I know, have dogs in their home, pups in their home, they REALLY care about their dogs/puppies. Each that I do know, I have seen them break down and cry over or during a dog or puppies unfortunate times. They do keep their dogs groomed, on a regular basis, as well as keep them updated with a Veterinarian. They all have a Vet that they can call and talk with if some thing goes wrong, or concerns come up. Their dogs know their names, have names, and are not mis- treated in any way, shape or form. I don't consider any of the kennel owners I know to be "Puppy Mills".

I do consider a Puppy Mill to be of a kennel where the dogs do not have a name, are known as a number, and are un-groomed,over crowded and the owner/breeder is that de-sensitized to their dogs, that they just DON'T care. Cesar, at any given time has 30- 40 dogs in his pack.So a good, caring breeder shouldn't have any problems with that many dogs. Right? (except b/c of breeding, and heat cycles, yes we need to kennel at times)

I do have a spayed/neutered pack of dogs, and they are a very balanced pack of dogs. For having breeding un-altered dogs in my pack it is pretty dang calm as well. I have been training in obedience for over 10 yrs, and I am very pleased with my pack and their ability to be calm, and obedient. If you have ever seen me in public with one of my dogs, you will remember it! People love to see my dogs, and praise about their manners! I do raise my dogs a little different than most breeders.I raise every puppy in my house, train every dog to have house manners, and at least basic obedience. Mainly b/c I am afraid if some thing happened to me, i would want my dogs to have the best opportunity to have great homes, and be loving pets.

I do have pretty strong bonds with all my dogs, but i have seen kennel breeders have just as strong bonds with their dogs, and have very socialized puppies.

All kennel breeders are NOT equal, some stand above the rest. Please take time to know your breeder when picking out your next puppy.Not all kennel breeders are Puppy Mills.

Please be advised there are un-scrupulous rescue groups who will get dogs off of breeders, saying they are "helping" them, and than turn around and charge MORE money for the dog/puppy than the breeder,(after the breeder has kept up on vaccines, and all up keep even) I know of rescues that comb dog/puppy ads looking for FREE dogs/puppies to turn money. They must care to take the time to run an ad, and find their pet a new home, rather than dump him/her at the pound. I would think that they would be more concerned in "helping" truly homeless ones, with no caring person around. So DO know that all rescue orgs are not equal either. And a vast majority, of them get so many that they do not socialize, or do training of any kind. Some don't even see a vet.

Just do your home work, no matter what! And find a caring, knowledgeable individual to help you make a educated wise decision!!

 

 

 

I am a very, very VERY emotional person when it comes to dogs, and I cannot stand to see pictures like those above. I have done rescue, found dogs, and seen things like this, and it just makes me sick to my stomach. I am a FIRM believer in dogs having souls, feelings, and their own personalities, and when I see things like that, I just think, what those poor babies must be feeling, how they think, and if they even know there's a whole world of love and care outside of their prison. 

 

I do NOT like rescue groups either. I am sorry if this offends anyone, but I HONESTLY have only ever run into two REAL and HONEST rescue groups. As Terbear said above, there are BAD rescue groups. I have seen groups that found puppies on the side of the road and tried to sell them when they had PARVO! That shows that they didn't even bring them into a vet! AND on top of THAT, they had them out at a PETSTORE on ADOPTION day! So they possibly infected SEVERAL dogs by being ignorant and not caring about anything but money! Also, there are individuals who call themselves rescue groups ( know quite a few) who have "rescued" dogs from actual terrible puppy mills, and instead of spaying them and letting them have a break after they've been breeding for who knows how long without a break, they just continue to breed them in their own home! That's just terrible, not only for the dog, but also because they do NOT know if the dog is even purebred, or if it has any genetic flaws, and they sure as heck don't know the parents of the dog to even see what type of personality they are breeding (not that they could tell being as it's a puppy mill dog anyways). Honestly, in the end, most rescue groups (except the true honest ones who RESCUE dogs and GIVE them away) turn out with more profit at the end of the year than most breeders. 

 

Anyways, I am sorry like I said if I offended anyone, but there are harsh facts that are true, and I think everyone needs to know that not JUST breeders can be bad, and not ALL breeders are bad. In fact, if you're able to go to the breeders house and see their dogs, chances are they are not a puppy mill. Puppy mills will NOT allow you at their house, and most of them only sell to pet stores, flea markets, or just ship only. Just be careful, but know you are safe with us.
