Yeah I grew up with horses and several dogs and always have been a huge animal lover. With the two we have - we got one from a breeder in Arkansas who was really good and other than have allergies because he is 1/2 pug he is as healthy as a horse. The other - she is a spark plug who likes to go 90 mph but when she was just six months I noticed she would occasionally limp for a couple days ... this continued occassionally for a year or so and then in winter 2011 she hurt the other knee and had to get surgery. When they did the additional xrays they found she had issues in both knees and hip dysplasia as well ( luckily she is under 30 lbs so no need for hip surgery). At that point I had the vet help me get the authorities involved with the place we got her from. Its sad in that so many who can't afford to care for animals that have health issues can purchase dogs that have been bred from bloodlines with those conditions. Really bugs me. The mills are getting harder to spot as well because some of them are actually well kept and they do spend money to care for the animals. This was one of them - very clean inside all animals looked healthy - they were feeding them good foods, got their shots etc etc. Still at the end of the day they were selling animals with potentially dangerous health issues. Then if you found those issues with your first checkup - you brought them back for a refund- that bothered me to no end as well to what they were doing with those animals.
 
Anyways sorry for another long rant - its something that really gets to me.
