Ah, yes, nextdaypets...they treat the dogs like merchandise. Yep, perfect place for less-than-stellar breeders to get people who don't know better to buy their "product".
I've known about this site for quite a while. What astonished me was the Veggie Tales video ad at the top of the page when I clicked on the link. I just lost some of my respect for Big Idea Inc.
Hmm.. out of curiosity's sake I took a closer look at some of the Ridgeback litters..
SOME, though VERY few, have CH parents, health clearances, chipped, the whole shebang.
While most of the time these sites are just used to make a quick buck for those BB's.. you cannot assume that EVERYBODY who uses the site to advertise their litters, or upcoming litters, are ALL backyard breeders. Which is probably why the site is still up and running. Then again, we all know.. or SHOULD know.. that any REPUTABLE breeders would NOT be putting their dogs up on this kind of site anyway!
It probably scans litter anouncements from other places and adds them to their site or something.. to constantly have "suppliers" from all over the country.
I looked at the site..and I understand and respect what your saying. But that doesn't look like a puppy mill. If it was there wouldn't be people on there looking for puppies, and waiting for someone to contact them. With puppy mills there are an overstock on all puppies just to insure that that puppy is going to be there when an owner wants it. I checked more into it and saw that their were hundreds of breeders that have champion bloodlines. So I know that puppymills do advertising but I don't believe that's one of them.
While I haven't yet looked over the site, I would also definitely recommend against 'mini' Beagles. The smallest Beagle size you should be able to get actually stands at about 13" at the shoulder. Anything smaller, considered 'Mini', 'Pocket' or otherwise is probably because they bred runts to create other tiny dogs. Designer dogs. They tend to have a lot more health problems too.
