"To say ALL pet stores buy from Puppy Mills. And that ALL licensed and inspected USDA commercial kennels are dirty Puppy Mills. Comes from a thought process that many Americans hoped would have been outgrown in today�s America. "

Except that you've mis-stated it here. Let's try again:

NO Responsible Breeder will sell their animals to pet stores or through other commercial outlets. A Responsible Breeder accepts the *responsibility* of finding a home for each and every life they have had the *responsibility* of bringing into existence. And that rules out letting someone who's being paid to run a cash register and run credit cards be the one who sends puppies to their new homes.

So, to fix your statement above - by definition - NO Responsible Breeder will sell their animals to pet stores or through other commercial outlets. And as for all the other kinds of breeders - well, they don't need to be bringing animals into this world at all.

"But first Pet Stores need the billions of lost taxable income back into their hands so they can do the right thing . To once and for all end the 60 year battle against a term that has matured into a pure marking tool, to take jobs and taxable income away from hard working Americans."

The puppy-mill industry has never and will never care about "doing the right thing." Going back half a decade of documented industry abuse, this has been very, very clear.

There is no way, and no how that the folks behind this blog will ever sign on to the idea of raising puppies as livestock, no matter how much the puppy millers clean up their kennels, no matter how many white frocks and name tags they put on their kennel staff. U.S.D.A is the United States Department of Agriculture, and a "clean" puppy mill is nothing more than a factory farm for the production of pets to be shipped and sold to a public that doesn't know any better.

A cleaned-up puppy mill still will not give a rip about congenital diseases. Still will not give a rip about socializing. Keeping costs of production down will still be the primary goal, not producing healthy, well-socialized pets. A reputable, ethical breeder isn't in it for the money; a puppy-miller always will be. There's a definition for you.

I cannot and will not ever recommend a pet-store puppy to anyone looking for a family pet. Ain't never gonna happen, so take your "concern" about all those "hard-working Americans" who are puppy-mill scum or puppy-mill outlet scum somewhere else.

"By Supporting your local Pet Store which sells Puppies and Kittens you are helping to eliminate the need for the Term Puppy Mill."

But you're not eliminating puppy mills. Sell it elsewhere, sister.

November 2007 Puppies Sire and Dam

Those of you who want a Golden Retriever but aren’t ready to go through the trials and tribulations of a puppy, should look into adopting an older Golden. Older Golden Retrievers are mature, and prove to be great in homes where they need to spend a quality amount of time by themselves. They are a very adjustable breed, being good tempered. No matter how old the Golden may be, he will quickly become a valued member of your family in little to no time at all.

Many times, breeders will have older dogs for sale. There are several reasons for this, which include show dogs that have lost their potential, studs that have been used for breeding, female Golden’s that have been bred a few times then retired, or other types of special conditions where a breeder is helping a friend get rid of his Golden Retriever. There are other reasons as well, although whatever they may be - the adult Golden Retriever will be available for anyone who wants him.

Most older Golden Retrievers are already housebroken, and known a lot of behavior patterns and how to adapt to a new and loving family. Although it will be a little hard on your new dog at first, if you give him plenty of love, attention, and patience, he’ll be just fine. You need to keep reassuring your new Golden on a regular basis, and let him know that you are his new owner and that you love you and you are glad he’s a member of your family.

If you have been thinking of adopting an older Golden Retriever, you should make sure that you learn everything you can about him. You should also determine his temperament, and whether or not it’s compatible with your family. You should also learn important things as well, such as his diet, likes, dislikes, daily routine, and his habits. Before you decide to take him, you should always make sure that the members of your family meet him as well, so you can talk it over and decide whether or not everyone wants the dog to be a member of your family.

With an older dog, you need to take care of him for the first days, and let him know where everything in your home is. You’ll need to show him where he sleeps, where he should use the bathroom, and where his food is. Take your time and be patient with him, as will normally take him a few days to learn how things in your home work.

You should always give your new Golden Retriever at least a month or so to get used to his new environment, before you start his new obedience training. Even though your new dog may have some prior obedience training, you should still enroll him in a new class. This way, he can brush up on training and you can work with him to help him understand. Once you have finished training, he’ll understand your commands better and you and him will get along just fine.

All Golden Retrievers, regardless of their age, love attention. Older Golden’s on the other hand, may have medical problems that you aren’t aware of. You shouldn’t let this stop you from getting one though, simply because the rewards that you’ll find are far greater than any cons that may come to mind. Although many people don’t give a lot of thought to getting an older Golden Retriever - they are perfect for families who don’t want to put up the time and troubles of raising a puppy.

When It Comes To Dog Training, There Is No Such Thing As A Perfect Dog by John Edward

As any reputable trainer or dog training book will tell you, canine learning is based largely on repetition. When a behavior is repeated enough times, dogs develop habits, or conditioned responses. Assuming that those habits are positive ones such as eliminating outside, coming when called, lying down and staying when told, and others - you will have what you want: a trained dog. That's because dogs are creatures of habit. Once you set up a routine of various signals and conditioned responses (sit, down, stay), the dog will do exactly what you tell him every time. Right? No exactly...

No conditioned response is infallible. Creatures with advanced brains can think. They can defy conditioning. They also can make mistakes. Think about two of your own conditioned responses. You have a habit of answering the telephone when it rings, but one day you decide not to take any calls. The telephone rings but you keep reading your book. You know what you usually do, but today you decide not to do it. You also have a habit of stopping your car at a red light. But one day you are tired or distracted and you roll through an intersection. Even the most experienced drivers sometimes make mistakes.

Similarity, there will be times when even the best-trained dog will either defy conditioning or make a mistake. Therefore you must avoid becoming complacent or overconfident about learned behavior. Do not rely on conditioned responses in potentially dangerous situations. For example, you should never unleash even the best-trained dog near a busy road. One mistake could result in injury or death to my dog.

Owners need to reinforce their dog's conditioned responses. Certainly the more practice and proofing you do with a dog, the more reliable his response will be. Skilled human beings, from tennis pros to typists, need practice to stay in top form. This is because all learned skills need reinforcement.

When you feel you have achieved a well-trained dog, continue to practice obedience exercises once in a while. It can be fun for both you and the dog. Plus it reinforces the good behaviors you worked so hard to achieve. When you need to call on those skills in real situations, such as doing a stand-stay at the veterinarian's office, you will be more confident that your dog will comply. Your dog will be more confident by doing something that is familiar - and for which he can earn your praise.
