: I agree & I have had my USDA license for over 3 years, but do not know how long I will continue to allow mine to breed!!

: : Most of the problems..90% is NOT the ones that even spend the 30.00 it is the ones that don't, won't, and all they care about is the money.. Usda Licensed breeders have regulations they must follow..

I didnt really think about that. And in that case it would be very hard to find them .. good thinking pockets..
USDA breeders to have regulations but that doesnt mean they always follow them. Ive seen it before with puppy mills and i dont doubt it happens with gliders. Sad but true, and I know first hand, since zia was bought from Petland, which has a bad repuatation here for buying from puppy mills, and they charged i think it was 250 for her.. i can only imagin how much they bought her for.. seeing as how they have to make their big profits.. i hate to think of what her home life was like before they got her at Petland.. Actually now taht ive thought about that.. i might do some reasearch. next time i drive by petland im going to stop and ask about where they get gliders from. =)
