  I bought my first puppy 10yrs ago from a pet store.  He was an American Eskimo and was so cute and fluffy in the little window.  I couldn't just walk away from him.  He was the healthiest puppy and we never had to take him to the vet for anything.  We did have issues with aggression, but I blame alot of that on us not knowing about socializing dogs.  He was a great dog and we miss him terribly.  He passed away late last year.  That is when we decided to get Crickett.  I knew better than just buying from anywhere.  So don't beat yourself up, you just didn't know.  I always felt like I rescued Max (eskie).  Made me feel better about supporting those places.
