Sadly, the facial deformity that Lily had been born with — a direct result
of irresponsible breeding practices at the puppy mill — prevented this beautiful dog from eating properly, and she lived for just fifteen months after finding her new home with Strader.
Carefully unloaded from their warm cages and placed into the welcoming arms of compassionate volunteers and shelter associates, all of the animals, mostly small sized pure breed dogs, were rescued from a part of the country
where irresponsible breeding practices are rampant and spay / neuter practices leave much to be desired.
Chow Chows have recently become a very popular dog breed, resulting in
some irresponsible breeding practices by inexperienced breeders.
And
irresponsible breeding practices are irresponsible whether the breeder lives in Timbuktu or just around the corner.
