n the puppy mill and the responsible breeder are other types of 
breeders. In terms of sheer numbers the vast majority of dogs come from 
people who breed only once.  They might be hoping to make some income, but 
they aren't living on it.  They quickly find out that puppy raising has a 
lot of pitfalls.  They are generally clueless.  They have no idea how to 
reduce genetic health problems, and indeed they have no thought at all 
they may contribute to poor genetic health. They are are so clueless, most 
of them, that they can't make good decisions because they don't know what 
they don't know.  They fail to ask important questions because they don't 
know there ARE important questions to ask.  The general term for these 
breeders is "backyard breeder"  which isn't at all descriptive but the 
term seems to have stuck. -Diane Blackman
