Great I will bring this up at the Kennel Club Breed Rescue conference next month.
I have spent the past few months gathering statistics from adverts and from rescues as we ( the rescuers) are all trying to find a way to educate the puppy buying public.
It is widely agreed that the best way to reduce dogs in rescue is to educate the buyers.
You have just provided an excellent example of the main problem - morons who are sure they know what they are doing and don't need any information but will keep lining the puppy farmers pockets. BTW the general definition of puppy farmer is someone who breeds for sale rather than to better the breed. Numbers produced are irrelevant but " many of these crosses are bred by responsible people with healthy tested animals" and they are breeding to sell = puppy farmers.
They have found that having a test certificate fools some of the public.
Last eye testing session I ran we had poodles turn up that were barely recognisable as such - roached backed and clear PL but they sired big litters to poodles & cockers![/
Sorry but you've lost me now, I and everyone I know owns a healthy dog whatever the breed/type, loves it and cares for it well.
