I live in a small village next door to a lady that breeds Border Collies and she has altogether 5 dogs.
I love dogs I have two Cairn terriers of my own. The dogs usually do not bother each other and everything is fine. However, a few times a year she has a friend that comes to stay and she has 6 Border Collies. They are not very friendly to say the least and every time anyone goes into the garden me or my dogs her dogs go absolutely mental. Then my two join in and it sounds like Battersea dogs home.
I’m getting really fed up now. My male dog has started scent marking everywhere and my girl dog just keeps yapping . This woman has been here for two weeks. 11 dogs next door ....... what can I do ?

No they were from KC registered breeders. Most are only in it for the money or status of having prize winning dogs. I know of at least one Cruft registered judge who was fined for neglect and lost her licence.

And although the majority of these dogs have not been physically mistreated their developmental needs have not been met. They totally lack confidence and the ability to deal with new situations. They have to learn to enjoy walks, climbs stairs, be taught how to play, how to interact with humans and other dogs. The list is endless.

But of course puppy farmers are the lowest of the low.

Furret-I read about the KC registered Judge who was fined last year.
I also know many good breeders, some of whom show their dogs. Its their livelihood and their dogs are as well cared for as their children. There will be the odd bad apple of course but it isn't fair to dismiss all dog breeders as bad owners. Puppy farms are an entirely different thing.
