Yeah, and did you see the latest sob story advertising from HSUS with all those poor animals in need of help? There are dollar signs all over each picture. It won't go to the animals, perhaps another Cadillac for the CEO. I also warn my friends and family not to give to them. I prefer to contribute to the local Humane Society, at least I know it goes to the right place. Upon questioning them, they told me that HSUS does not help them in any way.

Same format. "Breeders" pay a fee to list, someone acts as a web designer/broker. Note you DO NOT contact the "breeder" directly. Now, there are some sites where you can pay a fee and the interested party contacts you directly, like an online classified. Different entirely. Again, before you waste your time getting your knickers in a twist with me, please realize I don't care if knickers get twisted. I field dozens and dozens of calls from people who buy from these sites and only find the GSDCA AFTER something goes wrong and wonder what "we" can do to get them out of their jam. (Nothing). I hear the horror stories. These sites are nothing more than on line puppy mills with glossy pictures and guarantees and promises that don't hold up.
