I have a question for you people out in net land. I assume that there is some list compiled somewhere of breeders and I was hoping that someone could give me a hand checking out this one. This is the information I have to go on: Ad in the paper says call (612) CRITTERS for ferret pups. I call the first time and get the most lovable little old lady in the world. Explains to me that her husband, who does the breeding, isnt home because he is out working late cutting the grass and...blah blah blah...grandmotherly like tangents and all. I call back and get a somewhat likable old man who tells me that he only does males (because they are easier to descent and neuter) and how "you cant hardly tell they's been fixed". Tells me, during the conversation, that he was the one to invent the silver ferret and that he has a "batch" of black eyed whites and red eyed whites. The name he gave me was Gabe...didnt give me a last name or the name of his "farm" or "stable". My PERSONAL feelings are that this might be akin to a puppy mill but I dont REALLY know what goes on with ferret breeders and how they go about breeding for certain traits. The only information I have to go on is the above and a 'feeling' that something might be a little strange with this guy's farm. Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.
