This is such a great site! Too many people don't understand the imprtance of vetting a breeder. We created Zoey's page in memory of an 8 month old shepherd who came from irresponsible breeders. She had to be euthanized at only 8 months because of their poor practices. I am asking anyone interested in promoting good breeding practices to visit Zoey's page and click the like button. Once we hitt 100 we have a chance to go to our legislature with the SPCA to get broader laws passed. Thank you for a great site!
