One of her dogs is Uno's grandsire...(one of them, anyway)...she sent me this just a few minutes ago.... Last night, between when I walked in the door from work and dinner, we got 2 phone calls from people wanting pet beagle puppies. I am seriously concerned that the mills and hunters and BYB's will capitalize on this beagle mania to sell more puppies. They are NOT the dog for everyone, including those in apartments, without fenced yards, etc. Even if the responsible breeders carefully screen homes, the money grabbing mills will sell to anyone with the $$$. Beagle rescue is already like emptying the ocean with a teaspoon...no way to place the hunting dogs and rejected pets already. :-( The way the AR folks are going, it isn't going to matter soon...the responsible breeders will be legislated out of existence, and only the mills will qualify to produce litters :-( Peggy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
