Not to bash people who do buy from pet stores, my own sister did but I think we need to do more to educate each other.  |
I bought Max from Puppy Boutique and became educated here about pet stores and puppy mills, and how to buy a dog the right way. I just bought Gracie Leigh from a breeder with a great deal of help, recommendations and support from YTers.
We are educating each other, and it's starting in places like this. I tell anyone who oohs and ahhs over my babies what I've learned.
I absolutely agree with you that we must educate each other and I think we really are. The government should be more involved. Dogs are considered property, however, and until that changes, ???
