NoPuppyMills.com
NoPuppyMills.com is not an organization or a
company. It is one person who has dedicated the last 6 years to trying to
educate the public about the commercial dog industry. This is a great site

Newfoundlands are captured with grace and humor by
photographer Karyn L.
Carpenter. Her line of cards and prints remind us that
our 4-legged friends wait patiently for our return, explore
beautiful wooded roads, and at night, believe they belong in bed
with us. Her model is primarily her patient and always
expressive Newfoundland, Arayo, a Capriccio Farm girl!
While browsing her web site be sure to visit the Newfoundland
and pet galleries.
