Just as everyone has said, you really need to stay away from any puppy from ANY pet store. I know it is hard, the waiting is tough, but it is very much worth it to go through a reputable breeder. These people are devoted to the ANIMALS and want what is best for them. I'm not going to preach to you, but I did a quick search on Yahoo and found these links you should read before purchasing any animal affiliated with Petland:

And that was all from the first search results page. There is a lot of information out there on puppymills, just do your research, okay? Take care and good luck!
