We do have a pet store here in our town, not like Pet Smart, but a small locally owned one and I hate to go in there and see the puppies all caged up looking all sad....Im assuming they are coming from puppy mills? They are outrageously priced like you wouldnt believe! And heres another question, if they can go in and seize the animals like on animal planet and stuff, why cant that be done everywhere? So sad.......good luck on your decision!

You should go in that store and be as genuine there as you were asking us..and just see what they say.. they don't want to ADMIT that is where they get there dogs..and they may not.. but you have the right to ask.

And yes there is a HUGE mark up.. they probably mark them up 100% and up..depending on the area.. they know what they can get.

Our area has Dog Auctions.. miller sell their dogs for around 200 and up.. just like an auction,, to the top bidder.. YET.. dogs here sell for.. $800- 1,200 quite the mark up.
