I whole heartedly agree!

There are so many back yard breeders out there, adding to the dog over-population problem and producing bassets with all kinds of health and genetic problems- please don't become a part of this problem.

I have a rescue from one of these "backyard breeders" and he is just a mess! Double hip displeysia, fiddle front, so much pain in his back hips that he carries all his weight on the front legs and is just a train wreck of orthopedic problems to be dealt with the rest of his life. I am happy to say my vet closed that breeder down after seeing this dog. Please don't add more dogs to suffer the fate of my precious little boy.
