Dog Abusers and Puppy Mill Breede

I recently purchased a 9 month old basset hound puppy from an individual in Illinois. I asked why he was selling the dog, and explained that originally his mother had purchased the puppy, but she lives in a duplex and wanted a dog to walk. She soon found out that maybe a basset was not the breed she thought it was. So she gave the dog to her son. He did not want the dog, so decided to sell it.
When I asked him where they originally purchased the dog, he told me, "a breeder in Iowa." I also asked him if he saw the mother and father of the puppy. He said, "no." The Ellerbach's gave him some excuse as to why he could not view them. I was given the Application for Dog Registration and the Bill of Sale for the dog. The Bill of Sale had written on it, "Guaranteed".
After having this adorable little girl for a month, I have noticed her personality is not that of my other two bassets. Plus, I have been a foster for Guardian Angel Basset Rescue. I know the breed quite well. So, I was going to contact the breeder to ask some questions.
After searching the internet for the telephone number, I found two (2) Ripoff reports against these people who call themselves breeders. These people are nothing more than dog abusers and are running a puppy mill. They have 12 different breeds they are selling. These people need to be stopped. People need to be aware of them!
The breeds these people are selling are: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Basset Hound Cockapoo, Collie, German Shepherd, Golden Doodle, Golden Retreiver, Labra Doodle, Lhasa Apso, Minature Dachshund, and Morkie.
I have no intention on getting rid of my little girl. Thank goodness so far, she only has fearful issues. I can work with her and with patience, she will eventually come around. I hoping and praying there will be no physical problems in the future.
I am writing in the hopes people will do their research before purchasing a puppy from these people. The saddest part, however, is that these people probably sell their puppies to pet stores and the consumer never knows.
