The Dog Money Factory

synopsis

The Czech Republic is called the nation of dog breeders, but it is also infamous as a breeding superpower. Moreover, this business, in which incredible money is made, is constantly evolving. For example, a new 'profession' has emerged to outwit the system and the customer. Resellers. The documentary charts the Czech Television team's search for one of them. Where did an innocent-looking anonymous advertisement with a photo of a cute Chihuahua lead the documentary filmmakers? What role do traffickers play in the breeding business, how to recognize them? How to proceed if we come across them? Where is there a systemic solution in all this?
