   My personal experince with dealing with breeders that have animals that end   
   up at the shelter is that many times they breed to closley and the puppies   
   end up with mutations or are not healthy b/c of the close bloodlines.  Like   
   I mentioned before this is not the case with all breeders, some take very   
   good care of thier puppies even after they have gone to thier forever homes.   
   But thier are those that do not take this approach and also don't take care   
   of thier animals the way that they should.  I do have to agree with shelley   
   that no matter what kind or breed of dog you get you should definatley   
   assess it for illness and or injury and make sure that it is in good health.
