I don't know of him but I do have to agree he appears to be a classic puppy miller. Far too many puppies of varying types available at the one time for them all to be getting the necessary care and attention they require and deserve.

Also, the price he is charging is way overpriced for the cross bred puppies he is offering for sale.

Freedom Kennels

The poor man died in a car accident! Stop harassing this family! I bought the most beautiful schnoodle from Peter Cornford from Freedom Kennels 13 years ago. She passed away on Monday I am grief stricken this beautiful dog that came from Freedom Kennels was so special such a beautiful healthy lovely natured dog she was my best friend. I have other friends who got their dogs from him around the same time and they are very lovely healthy happy dogs. If it wasn't for Freedom Kennels and Peter I would have never had those wonderful happy years shared with a special loving companion who was like my child she was my best friend! I am grateful to have had 13 Amazing years with my beautiful milli who is not with me anymore. I miss her so very much I loved her so more than any human. Please have some respect and leave this family alone. I am devastated by my loss of my dog, as I am sure the Cornford family are losing a father and husband.

Find what motivates your dog. Some dogs do anything for food. Some dogs do anything for Toys. Some do anything for a good petting. Some do anything for only one type of food, like cheese, or hotdog. Some only have interest in training for 5 minutes at a time, and others can go for an hour. Figure out what your dog is willing to work for, and then work with her in sessions that are no longer than she can tolerate. How to train your dog properly https://tr.im/H3J67

Sign up for a dog obedience training class. It will not train your dog. It will give you training on how you can train your dog. Most people understand the idea of training, but there is a right and a wrong way to do it, and there is good and bad technique. Timing and consistency is very important, and it helps to have feedback of someone watching you who can help you improve your technique to get more efficient results with your dog.

However, she may be somewhat anxious around other dogs, sort of like the shy kid on the playground. She will benefit from continuing what you are doing as far as asking her to sit before entering, but there are more things along those lines that will help her to calmly go in and out of the dog park. She may also benefit from going in short bursts, or only when fewer dogs are present, or avoiding times when other dogs that make her nervous are present. Maybe she just plays loud - my brother's dog is this way - or maybe she is a dogpark bully - sorry it is possible. But more likely she is just a little anxious around new dogs and she wants to play but just doesn't quite know how to do that and still feel comfortable. Don't be surprised if your dog does not actually like the dog park, and maybe she would get more enjoyment and less stress out of simply going for a good walk somewhere else.

A wagging tail does not mean that your dog is happy or even comfortable with the situation. It means your dog is emotionally aroused. This could be a happy arousal, or it could be a nervous arousal, or it could be an aggressive arousal. Go youtube it, there are plenty of videos of 'vicious' dogs who are throwing a very aggressive fit of barking and snarling while their tail is wagging vigorously. Even police dogs who are not let off the leash to chase down a suspect can be lunging and barking and snarling, and their tails are still going.

A puppy mill or puppy farm is a large dog breeding facility created to mass produce puppies for profit.

Likened to battery hens, the breeding dogs are kept in cages or pens for their entire life with the sole purpose of producing puppies for the pet shop, internet and overseas markets.

Pet shops require a constant supply of cute, young puppies and individual shops can take more than 20 a week. Multiply that by the number of pet shops found in shopping centres throughout Australia and you have the perfect distribution network for an industry producing hundreds of puppies with little concern paid to quality, health or temperament.

Our puppies only come from breeders, not puppy mills."

Anyone with two dogs can call themselves a breeder, so don't assume this means their pets don’t come from a puppy mill.

Ask to see documentation and find out the breeders location - if they won't give it to you there is no way to know if the breeder is located interstate and just farming and shipping pets for the pet shop market.

If you are able, take documentation away and do a background check on the breeder - often information on dubious breeders can be found on the internet.

"We only work with reputable breeders who we know."

A reputable breeder will not sell to a pet shop. A reputable breeder would never consider selling their puppies to someone they haven’t screened as they want to meet the people who will be adopting their puppies to make sure they are suitable. If they do sell to pet shops, then they are just looking to make money and aren't concerned about the long term welfare of their animals.

Ask - has the pet shop visited the kennels of the breeder? Often the only contact between the 'known' breeders is just that the 'product' has been delivered on time, reliably, for many years.

"We only sell the puppies of accidental litters."

Many stores help small scale puppy mills (known as backyard breeders) sell their dogs. While the concept of an 'accidental litter' seems quite sweet, these puppies are often from parents who are kept only for breeding by people who are not qualified in dog nutrition, genetics or development. Because vet care eats into the profits it is common for these dogs to receive little or no veterinary care and are not be tested for genetic diseases.

"We sell purebred labradoodles with papers."

Pugliers, spoodles, multipoos etc, or as they’re commonly called 'designer dogs' are a cross of two breeds and therefore can never come from a registered breeder.

The breeder being 'registered' might just mean they licence their dogs with their local council; or are 'registered' with organisations that have have nothing to do with Canine Councils and have been created purely to help puppy millers fool the public.

Even if the puppies look cute, clean and healthy there is no guarantee that their mothers aren’t suffering as breeding dogs in cages for their entire lives.

There is in fact a huge problem. These puppies miss out on the two critical things that create a safe and happy pet dog - known genetic hereditary and socialisation.

Modern dogs are required to be incredibly adaptable – to be friendly with strangers, not chase the cat, avoid the vacuum cleaner, listen to directions, toilet outside and tolerate children. If a chicken has the occasional bout of bad-temperedness, it’s unlikely to cause a problem - but if a dog is prone to aggression, timidity, separation anxiety or is otherwise unstable, it causes enormous problems for itself, its new family and the community.

Learning begins from the moment a pup is born. Dog behaviourists have long known from birth to seven weeks is the time when the greatest changes, physically and behaviourally take place and it's during this stage of tremendous development that a dog's personality is shaped.

The experience a puppy has during this time has an enormous effect on its ability to be a 'good dog' in later life.

Because these pups are not being born into a family home for instance, or a small manageable environment, they’re very poorly socialised. Professor Paul McGreevy – The Puppy Mill

Farms keep upwards of 300 dogs, so during this very important time in the puppy's development, they languish in kennels without experiencing the things they will encounter when they join the world. They miss out on individual handling and interaction with humans. They have no contact with a bustling household, kids and other pets. They don't even go outside of the kennel environment to walk on grass or learn to toilet away from their sleeping area.

Aside from environmental factors, the other major ingredient to a good tempered dog is hereditary; or the stable temperament of its parents. These pups are bred from dogs who've never dealt with any of the challenges of modern life, so are an unknown factor - how can we know these mums are good house pets when they've never been one?

In short - puppy mill puppies miss out on the two things that are known to help shape a good, stable temperament for later life; good breeding and many and varied positive life experiences before the age of seven weeks. As long as they're cute and fluffy, the puppy miller gets his money.

Don't risk buying your new family member from a profit motivated puppy farmer.

How you can stop puppy mills

1. Spread the word

Let people know that puppy mills exist in Australia and that you should never buy a puppy from a pet shop. The easiest way to effect change is by simple supply and demand. If you and everyone you know no longer considers buying a pet from a pet shop then these breeders lose their main outlet for profit.

Click here to spread the word about puppy mills to your friends,

family members and colleagues!

2. Don't shop at stores that sell pets

Buy food, supplies and toys at shops that do not sell pets; and be sure to tell them why they have you as a customer.

3. Adopt your next pet from a rescue group

Groups from around the country advertise pets looking for new homes on PetRescue. Puppies, pure breeds, designer dogs and mutts all come into rescue. A good rescue group will be able to help you choose the right dog for your lifestyle.

4. Donate

The shelters and rescues throughout Australia do not have the money behind them that the pet industry does. Help rescue by donating your old stuff, your time or your money. Click here to find out more.

5. Support Clover Moore's NSW Bill

Clover Moore MP has drafted a bill that will end the sale of dogs and cats in Pet Shops in NSW. Add your name to the supporters list with just a couple of clicks of your mouse.

6. Ensure that you never buy a dog from a puppy farm

If the only test you have to pass to get the puppy is whether your credit card charge goes through, that's a pretty good sign the breeder doesn't have the puppy's best interests at heart - or yours. Many animal lovers feel they are saving the puppy in the pet shop window, but in reality you may be condemning the mother, a puppy mill dog, to a life of misery.

Pet shop stars!

Not all pet shops are created equal - some have realised no pets in store mean loyal customers follow, while some still have pets in glass boxes and staff who know nothing about the animals they sell. Is your local pet shop one of the good guys? Is it pet free? Why not show your support and let the rest of the Australia know where to shop.
