LOL this is a really important convo to be having! I'm honored that it takes place on my thread 😆 and yes, I absolutely agree with the points y'all are making.
People do need to know where their pups are coming from and whether they were responsibly bred. To think of it coldly, I wouldn't buy a house without looking into its history and possible problems, or I might face ridiculous stress, expense, and emotional trauma from subsequent issues that come up later. As a consumer, one should do their homework not only on the breed but on the breeder.
A breeder who produces puppies carelessly is basically a horrible human being in my book. It was a huge, thoroughly thought out moral decision for me not to adopt but to buy a purebred puppy, as I've worked with rescues before. I took this step with the possible goal of being a custodian. If a breeder is irresponsible in all the aforementioned ways, not only are they producing dogs with a higher possibility of suffering, muddying this ancient breed, and swindling people, they are needlessly taking potential homes away from dogs that need one AND frequently causing dogs to be abandoned! If there weren't any PMs or BYBs, imagine how many people would get schooled by rescue folk and responsible breeders into taking dog-parenting seriously before they ever took one home!
Sorry for the rant; I COMPLETELY understand the internal screaming that happens within some of you when you find out a pup is from a mill or crap breeder. If people like you and I keep yelling about it, we will change a few minds, which make all the difference to a few dogs which is better than no dogs 🙂

nala121498 : Thank you for the Basenjis. Versace is out of Arubmec's High Jacked X Signet After Hours Party.
Satine is out of Signet High Caliber X Souka Of Swala Pala And Souka is a Daughter of Signet Jay R Hot Damn . It's because of Satine US origins that her Breeder and I choose a US dog. -

How much I understand. I've wanted to travel to california for the national specialty and go back to france with Versace but I've moved to a new home this spring and it's a quite expensive journey.
The choice of Satine's name is mine, from the movie "Moulin Rouge".
The choice of Versace is not, but I realy like it;) -
