Hi I live in Gurnee and please stay away from Petland and any petstore. You can try breeders that are looking toplace an older dog to a good home for a reasonable price. You can look at the YTCA website for Breeders in Illinois/ WIsconsin. Please trust me you have to be very careful when purchasing these small dogs as a single er vet bill can run 300 to 1000 dollars. If you need any help pm me and I would be glad to help you evaluate a prospective breeder/puppy. I think that it is sweet you want to surprise your GF but she may want to be in on the process of looking for one as it is so much fun. Good luck. |
