I too felt bad about getting max from a petshop but honestly I have learned so much from YT that I never knew...about puppymills is one of them. I went in the shop and it was so nice and clean all the pups were happy and smelled so good so when i asked her where Max came from and she said a breeder in flushing queens I decided I would take him. I even signed her contract that clearly stated NO PUPPYMILL DOGS. But she lied to me. do i beat myself up about it now? No I dont I just learned from my mistake and thats why we are flying to Indiana to get Macy. It doesnt make you a bad person if you got your puppy from a petshop when you were unaware of the problems with puppymills. Like i said before it might seem a bit extreme to some, flying into Indiana from NY but honestly my sis is spending just as much as I spent in the petshop only difference is that her puppy was rasied with love and her parents and Max was "just a dog"
