Your skepticism is warranted! Even, just assuming, that the puppies are not from a puppy mill, what kind of loving, caring dog breeder would sell her puppies to a dog broker or to a pet shop where she gives up all rights to be certain that her dogs go to a good home?
Many years ago, my parents bought a puppy from a pet shop on the recommendation of my father’s boss. While Jimmy grew up to be a much loved and fiercly loyal and loving dog he also developed hip displasia (not common in Yorkies) by eight months and grew to be about fifteen pounds, floppy eared, with a dark wooly coat! Later in life he also developed cushings disease. The pet shop was closed down a few years afterwards.
No matter what they tell you, or who makes the recommendation , I would not buy a pet shop puppy. You want to know where your puppy comes from and be able to see, at least, the mom of the pup |
