At Uey's, all our dogs are provided with the best of everything. Even if you do not physically visit a kennel prior to buying, pretend like you are on the phone and ask how the adults are housed. If they focus on the puppies and avoid talking about the adults, this is a very bad sign. Insist that you want to know how the parents of the puppies live, and you do not want to drive all the way there just to turn back around. If they do not have positive things to say and try to meet you half way, they are very likely abusing their dogs. If a breeder does not care about their dogs, they do not care about your puppy. There is a very good posibility your puppy may develop genetic problems or be sick. Stay away from puppymills. Let the buyer beware!
