Hello,
I am a new member and I'm looking for my first Cavalier puppy. I looked at one yesterday which was the cutest and nicest puppy ever. It was 14 weeks old. My concern is the home housed at least 150 Cavaliers. They were all different ages and colors and were gated in different rooms depending on their age. They were all so cute and seemed in good health. The place was clean even though it smelled bad. They all seemed to have plenty to eat and their coats were shiny and clean. The poor woman was working her tail off to keep up with all of them.
So, my question is, should this prevent me from buying a puppy from her? She is charging about 1/2 of what most Cavaliers cost. I don't know if it is registered or if I even care. I am looking for a companion, not a show dog.
When I think of a "Puppy Mill" this is not what I envision because each of the puppies were very impressive. They all knew their names, they were obedient when she told them to go into their rooms. It was very interesting!
Any advice? But, please be nice, I am new to this!
