How did you find the breeder? Through the breed club, recommendation or small ads?

[RainbowClaire]

As your post asks for our opinion on puppy farms and you said you weren't sure whether you had got your pup from one. We're just trying to find out if you have inadvertantly bought your pup from a puppy farm/ large commercial breeder or whether you bought from a farmer who has bred his dog. My working cocker Fern was born in a barn on a farm, but we have known the farmer and his family for forty years and the Mum all her life, so no way is she a puppy farm dog

well we are from yorkshire and we went to wales for the pup, when we got there it was a big farm , a propper farm though anyway we went in and the couple were really nice we got to see the pups mum  etc and all the pups were well looked after although rather smelly but ive been told its usual anyway thet.
although we are happy with what we saw and the pups were inside they had barns where some other puppied were, they had jack russle pups and lurcher pups and also huskey pups along with our baileys family of pups.
i asked her how many litters baileys mum had had and this was her second litter and asked them how many dogs they had in total, 22 without all the pups although most were working dogs on the farm and some that they purley breed and some pets...
dont get me wrong i would not swap bailey for anything and she is very healthy and well.

ditto pepper liath and rolo. The farmer trials and shoots also breeds spaniels . hes a farmer has puppies now and again but also has horses sheep and cows ..oh and chickens.. they are def NOT "puppy farm" dogs.

TBH your "farmer" sounds like he has a lot of different breeds...and 22 dogs is a bit much.. makes me suspicious.
