three badly bred pups . . . poor babies, its not their fault!

Watch the journey of three cocker puppies, from backyard breeder to the shelter to Camp Cocker rescue. Please spread the message to tell everyone you know, to take pause before purchasing puppies from backyard breeders. You can identify a good breeder by the waiting list to buy a puppy. You can identify a good breeder by going in person, meeting the parents of the puppies, observing how the puppies are being socialized in the first weeks of their life. You can identify a good breeder by asking for medical records for both parents, that they have had their eyes checked out by an eye doctor, hips/joints checked out, and they are healthy. You can identify a good breeder by how transparent they are in showing they have bred the parents across lines (and not in line breeding). If a breeder can not pass all of these criteria, then you are supporting bad breeding. Watch the story of Brady, Eli and Kramer to see what happens when breeders do not care about breeding for health and only care about breeding to sell puppies for quick cash. Somewhere out there, is the mommy dog of Brady, Eli and Kramer, being bred again. And somewhere out there, are consumers willing to give money to the breeder who is doing this. If all consumers everywhere, took a stand and said "no more" I am not giving my money to support this industry . . . do you know what would happen? The puppy mills would all close down, pet stores would stop selling puppies, backyard breeders would have to find a legitimate way to make money. And guess what? We would see a trickle down effect of less cockers in the shelters. It all starts with you, and your one voice . . . speak up to everyone you know who is considering buying a puppy. Remember, if a puppy is for sale and you can buy it quickly, that is not a legitimate breeder. Good quality breeders have long waiting lists.
