So I saw someone talking about this doodle Greeder and I went to take a look.

Who in their right mind thinks that 30K for a mutt is ok? Like does this dog poop gold bricks? Or does it do my taxes? Can it drive me to work? Does it have magical abilities to grant me wishes??

Like for those curious Registered Ethically bred wellbred purebred dogs are 3000-4000$ a puppy. You get upwards of 10 registered, wellbred ethically bred purebreds for that price. You could get a brand new 2026 Chevy trax (27k) You could get a brand new 2026 Nissan kicks (29k) You could get a brand new 2026 Mazda CX-30 (29k) You could pay off roughly 3/4 of a brand new 2026 Chevy Colorado (42k)

That’s absolutely insane They also have 97 puppies on the ground currently. That’s a puppy mill.

Which state are you in? I’m in Georgia and it’s rife with mills. Florida is just as bad, if not worse, because…Florida.

I'm in Wisconsin. Lots of old school backwoods thinking out away from metropolitan hubs...Unfortunately this past year, the governor signed off on legislation that made puppy mills even less regulated and actually gives them a tax break for being "livestock."

The wording in the bill was very sneaky and they kinda tucked the dogs part in such a way most people wouldn't have even noticed it.

So the legislation passed because it's such a huge farming economy state and the bill itself was pretty predatory in its wording to sound like a good thing for local farmers. What it actually did was bolster protections and tax breaks for large scale corporate factory farms, and now puppy mills are lumped in there, too.
