The latest weave I’ve tried: Persian GSG. So pretty and none of the Half-Persian stress!

Oprah on Puppy Mills
Today, Oprah Winfrey’s show will cover the horrors of puppy mills. Just a few weeks ago, hundreds of small dogs were rescued from a breeder near Tucson. The Humane Society of the United States has had a long-standing campaign against puppy mills.
Adoption is always best–millions of healthy animals are killed every year because they don’t have homes–but the HSUS does have tips on finding reputable breeders for those who do choose to buy a pet.
