It can't think it's ok to use the restroom where it sleeps.

My mom has been breeding and showing English Setters for over 40 years. She knows the reputation of just about every ES breeder in the northeast, field and show. ETA: I'm not encouraged that you know what to look for if you think that wilson setters is a good breeder. It's disconcerting that they will sell dogs over the internet. And I don't mean you should buy a dog from my mom., in case anyone misunderstood! (Her waiting list is years long anyway.) Just that she can tell you which breeders she knows produce sound dogs and which are breeders to stay away from, general things to look for with this breed, etc. ETA: Not a fan of the kennel hardcore posted. It's a commercial breeding operation who doesn't do the appropriate health clearances and raises and whelps pups in a kennel. Email me! Email me.

They have 2,600 registered kennels, and a lot more thats not registered. The amish are raising dogs in substandard conditions and selling to pet stores. Their dogs also recieve no vet care. They breed them for as long as they can, then after they are no longer productive they kill them. Their horses are treated no better. Amish don't even get their children vaccinated, so why bother to control disease in animals either. Yes, PA is the biggest puppy mill state in the nation.

YES! YES! This is unfortunately a HUGE problem here! The Amish have some of the WORST puppy mill conditions in the country I am sad to inform you! DO NOT BUY IN LANCASTER! do not promote this disgusting situation. There are tons of articles and rallies trying to pass laws to stop it, try a google search for more info. EDIT for those not familiar, Lancaster is a county where the Amish live, its not actually a building where they sell puppies. The Amish that live there and in many other areas of Pa have got themselves into the dog business. YES! YES! YES! This is unfortunately a HUGE problem here!

Amish farmers do not see dogs as anything more than crops, and aren't any kinder to their horses. Avoid any pups bred by the Amish, because there is NO vet care, NO concern for socialization, and NO care for breeding good examples of the breed. ADDED: This site allows you to view kennel inspection reports for licensed kennels in PA. Please remember, there are plenty of hidden puppymills that just ignore the laws and don't apply for licensing, so they won't be inspected either. http://services.agriculture.state.pa.us/KennelInspections/SearchKennelInspections.aspx Lancaster PA, just an hour and a few minutes from me, is one large haven of puppymills.
