We have folks come here and ask all sorts of questions about good breeders and how they can locate a good Sibe breeder.

This news article I think shows well why we're so down on the Back Yard Breeder (BYB) even though this Georgia "breeder" was registered with the state.

Voofla bills itself as:

One of the largest resources on the Internet for finding pet stores & pet services and related businesses, worldwide.

and they present GeorgiaPuppies as a seemingly legitimate breeder.

Note that GeorgiaPuppies web site is down and that PuppyFind for this account shows no puppies for sale.  However there is nothing in the terms of service for either Voofle or Puppyfind that prohibit people, using the term loosely, from posting puppies from a puppy mill.  If they were really interested in something other than the almighty dollar they'd selectively limit their customers.

At least 4 of the "breeders" on the Humane Society's Horrible Hundred list breed huskies. Missouri and Ohio are heavily represented on that list. When you look through that list and see all that is cited and just how many times these people get away with horrible things it just completely takes away your faith in state and federal inspections. While Puppy Mills get a lot of attention, private Backyard Breeders can in many cases be just as bad, just on a smaller scale where it's harder to crack down on. Anyone that breeds for the wrong reasons (money, because their dog is pretty/nice and they want to share that with other people, or they think their dog should have at least one litter in their life) is a backyard breeder and shouldn't be supported.

Im shocked the amish puppymill here didnt end up on the list. Or any of the offgridders that breed heelers that are way inbred.Ive had a bunch of people who wanted me to partake in thier backyard breeding programs with my gsd. Usually when i say hes not akc they back off he is registered german sv but i have had a few people who were purely going by looks. I can think of half a dozen reasons not to breed him and yet still people ask. One idiot even wanted to use him as a stud AFTER i told him about shadow having PRA. Seriously who breeds a blind dog other then an unethical breeder. Im not really 100% sure what kind of situation shadow was bred in just that at 6 months old he had failed out of the air force for temperament reasons and thats when and from who i adopted him from.
