I just dropped in here to see what was happening and saw this thread. How funny - I got Max at Puppy Boutique also and got the exact same story that he'd be 4 lbs. full grown. He's a little over a year old and weighs in at about 7 lbs. He is also from the back room. I expected them to come out with a 3 legged mutant chicken, but they brought him out and I also fell in love. He's not AKC - he's DKC (??) which I never bothered with and his papers are ridiculous. His breeder gave the store's address as hers. However, he is healthy, adorable and a good little dog, and I paid $750 for him. I wouldn't go back there, hut I'm happy with him. I know someone who used to work there and she swears they're okay and that their dogs are good.
World of Pets does have the worst reputation in Brooklyn as far as selling sick pets, but they carry pretty much everything I need except food.
Petland Discounts is now carrying Merrick food, but I don't like their treats.
Next time, I want to get a home bred dog. Are there any good, affordable breeders like that in the tri-state area? |
