I think that she presented the options for getting a good dog fairly, as did the guy who ran the no kill shelter. He did mention ethical breeders and how to find one. Oprah also later mentioned that the good breeders she got her dogs from had interrogated her and asked all the right questions. All in all I think it was a good representation of, unfortunately, the way things are. I agree with you, it wasn't a witch hunt and I thought they all made it clear that they were not talking about reputable breeders. And they stressed if you want a purebred, go to the breed rescue. There is nothing wrong with getting rid of puppymills while recognizing the difference between reputable breeders and puppymills. Hopefully all the breed rescues and shelters will benefit from this show. **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.
