| Please don't buy a puppy from a pet store. Almost all of them come from puppy mills and you run a great risk of having a very sick puppy on your hands. High vet bills aside, it would be so heartbreaking to watch the puppy you fall so much in love with become very ill. I had a close friend whose daughter bought a pug puppy (Frankie) from a pet store in our mall. He was so sick. He didn't show any symptoms until a couple of weeks after she brought him home. I can't remember his exact diagnosis but he had encephalopathy (swelling of the brain). He wasn't expected to live. Frankie ended up with a miracle and he is fine now (3 years later) but it's just not worth the risk, heartache, and expense. There is alot of good information here on pet stores and puppy mills and puppy brokers. I'm sure someone else with lots more knowledge than me will chime in. Good luck with your search for a puppy! |

| If your puppy got sick you have rights for reimberment of vet bills. California puppy lemon law states this. Do not let theses pet stores get away with it. What they are doing by supporting puppy mills is evil and they all need to be shut down. |

| Why do you want to buy from puppy mill/ store? Too many great breeders around. That way you will know what you are getting. DOWN WITH PUPPY MILLS. |

| so I am trying to understand this, you should always be down with a private owner who owns a pet store? even if he is a yorkie breeder? |

| They came from many different states. I talked to some breeders and wouldn't give me one..... I went online to find a breeder in california . I also went to AKC website to find a reputable breeder but no luck they wouldn't give me one because of the kids....I cannot get rid of my kids .....
