best friends dog boarding nj image

I recently moved to NJ and I am looking to buy a puppy. Most people tell me they got their dog from an Amish breeder closeby in PA. I did some research and I found that the Amish view thier dogs as a crop and mass produce them in puppymills. Is this true of all Amish breeders. My friends dog seems healthy. Are there any good Amish breeders around here? Do they all run puppy mills?
I am looking for a chihuahua or a miniature pinscher.
Answer
YES it is very true.. They are well known to be puppymills, especially in the PA area.. Do a google on the whole thing, you'll see that it's awful. Lots of news stories about how they don't care for their animals and breed them just to make money without regard for the dog's health or anything else..
There was a puppymill busted around here not too long ago. 40 dogs left in a barn without food and water, some dead, most dying, all full of parasites.. It was one of the Amish.
We see them in town now and then... They get their horse from the slaughter house before it is killed... Then they work it to death... I maybe wouldn't say 100% of them are puppymills because that would be a ridiculous statement, obviously there is maybe maybe maybe some that aren't like that. But it is a well known fact that they are puppymills.
Pennsylvaniaâs moniker as the âpuppy mill capitol of the Eastâ is no secret. If the state is to shed its shameful reputation, changes to Dog Law are absolutely necessary to protect dogs being bred in terrible conditions. No reasonable person or organization would argue with this.
The breeding of dogs in Pennsylvania represents a multi-million dollar industry, so it should come as no surprise that those who have the most to lose are putting forth the biggest opposition to reform. The American Kennel Club is leading the pack in across-the-board opposition. Nipping at the their heels is the Pennsylvania Federation of Dog Clubs. Both are campaigning furiously to stop humane legislation.
A member of the Agriculture Committee, Rep. Jim Cox (R-Berks), said this about high volume breeders at a recent Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee meeting: âThey breed some dogs, find them good homes, and make a buck in the process.â His ignorance of a major problem in Pennsylvania is mind-boggling.

Getting a puppy in NYC?
Anne V-B
I really would like a puppy. I am a responsible teenager with a rather large apartment and I live very near to a big park. My parents are OK with it but they would like a dog that medium sized. does not bark, does not shed, and very friendly. So far, the best thing I came up with was a Portuguese water dog. Is this the right choice for NYC? If so, where do I get a PUPPY? Please give specific links. Thanks in advance! xox
Answer
I'm a NY'er. Brooklynite to be exact.
Now, since you live in an apartment with your parents, they will have to find out if its OK with the landlord, co-op or condo board first. Many apartment buildings have weight limits, so they will need to find out if this applies to the building you live in.
There are many breeds that a low-shedders, medium sized and not yappers. You do need to know that Portugese Water Dogs are very active dogs. I have friends who own them, remember, they are a working breed. The other breed that would do well is a Miniature Poodle or maybe even a Standard Poodle. Keep in mind, that both breeds need to go to the groomer at least every 6 weeks.
Once you decide which breed you like, you need to visit the Portugese Dog Club of America, the Poodle Club of Amerca or any other breed club. That's how you will find a reputable breeder. Finding a reputable breeder is important because both, Porties and Poodles have many health problems, from hip dysplasia to autoimmunie disease to cancer.
You can also find the rescue groups for these breeds. Besides beginning at the dog clubs I listed above, also go to the AKC or InfoDog to find an upcoming show. Take your parents to the show, look at the different breeds, talk to the owner/handlers of the dogs you like.
There will be a bunch of shows in NYC and Seacucus, NJ in Feb. There will also be a show in Suffren, NY and in CT. You can find all the shows thru Infodog.
BTW, any dog of any breed or mix, can do well in an apartment. It's up to the owner to give the dog the mental stimulation and exercise it requires.
