I was on Long Island this week and went into a big, fancy pet store in Lynbrook. The prices were reasonably high, they had greenies, some very nice organic treats, and they even had Snoop Doggy Dog's line of pet things. I could tell right away that they were your typical "don't ever buy a dog here" pet store.
I went to the big room where the puppies were - and immediately went to see the Yorkie babies - how could I resist? Of course they were adorable. I asked the salesperson about prices and got the usual - "This one is $1600, this one $1500 and that very small one over there is $2800." I very innocently asked why that very small one is so much more.
You know before I write it what the answer was! Teacup! Not only that, she was only 8 weeks old.
I was really tempted to tell this guy off, but he was only an employee, so I kept my mouth shut. There was a family right there - 2 grandparents and a little girl. You could tell Grandma wasn't buying a dog there either, or I would have said something to her.
I was really angry - greenies and teacups, and they're making a lot of money.
Rent in Lynbrook is high. These owners have no integrity, and no matter how many times they talk about it on tv, people still buy dogs from them.
