I bought my first dog from a petstore. I was SOOOOOO Stupid. I paid $899 for a min pin!!!!!! At a petstore. Its rediculous what they charge. I didnt know better at the time. I also didnt know the bad condition dogs are in. This dog was supposedly from a championship bloodline. well for starters it tipped the scales at 23 lbs once full grown and there wasnt an ounce of fat on that dog- it was just incredibly large for the breed(standard is 6-10 lbs!!!!!). CRAZY DOG TOOO. I know its part of min pin mentality but I am seriously not sure about its genes. I ended up giving that dog to a friend who just loves it because it did not get along at all with my other dogs. It was the most expensive dog I bought too. The sad thing is that these types of breeds always end up in shelters and I paid $900 for one. I could have just rescued one that needed a family but nooooo

Stupid petstore

We like to buy from breeders now. Its nice to see the conditions the dogs are raised in and the parents.
