520    We love them with all our hearts, but do we really know 
       where our dogs came from? Kim Kavin reveals the complex 
       network behind the $11-billion-a-year business of selling 
       dogs. A must-listen for the benefit of all dogs 
       everywhere. In what promises to become an Omnivore's 
       Dilemma for dog lovers-breed devotees and adoption 
       advocates alike-The Dog Merchants is the first book to 
       explain the complex and often surprisingly similar 
       business practices that extend from the American Kennel 
       Club to local shelters, from Westminster champions to dog 
       auctions. Without judging dog lovers of any stripe, The 
       Dog Merchants makes it clear that money spent among these 
       dog merchants has real-world effects on people and 
       canines. Kavin reveals how dog merchants create markets 
       for dogs, often in defiance of the usual rules of supply 
       and demand. She takes an investigative approach and meets 
       breeders and rescuers at all levels, shedding much-needed 
       light on an industry that most people don't even realize 
       is an industry. Kavin's goal is to advance the 
       conversation about how all dogs are treated, from puppy 
       mills to high-kill shelters. She shows that a great deal 
       can be improved by understanding the business practices 
       behind selling dogs of all kinds. Instead of pitting 
       rescue and purebred people against each other, The Dog 
       Merchants shows how all dog lovers can come together, with
       one voice as consumers, on behalf of all our beloved 
       companions.
