NEW POLICY - Members Please Read.

[Crossfire Bulldogs]

Due to the increasing number of Puppy Millers and Backyard Breeders throughout the United States as well as other countries there has been a large increase in the number of posts from distraught new puppy owners who have been “taken” by a Miller or Backyard Breeder. Many have gotten an ill or genetically unsound pup or have paid for a puppy only to come up empty handed when the so-called “kennel” fails to deliver.

With this increase also comes a liability to this forum when someone wishes to report something of this nature. Since we, the staff of Global Paw, are not only unable to verify the accusations being made but also not qualified to do so, we must discourage our members from posting this type of information and will no longer allow threads of this nature to remain.

It is not our wish to discourage those who feel they have been wronged from reporting the information, in fact we encourage it however, this information should be channeled through the proper agencies who can not only verify it but assist in doing something about it.

Members may still post information about puppy sales “gone bad” or deplorable conditions of a kennel or animal but that information must stay anonymous in nature, meaning that the kennel name(s), breeder name(s), email addresses as well as web site information should not be listed. While the laws may be different from state to state or country to country below is a general list of contacts to report a Puppy Mill or Nuisance Breeder.


Report to:

1. AKC (American Kennel Club) or Kennel registry affiliated with the
breeder if known.

2. Local Humane Society.

3. County Department of Health.

4. State Department of Agriculture.

5. Zoning Commission.

6. Attorney General’s Office.

7. County Auditor’s Office.

8. National Breed Club and Rescue.
