Oh my gosh no, I would never buy an animal from a pet store. I never have just based on price alone. I don't understand just how someone can abuse an innocent animal that has done nothing. I adopted my Buddy from the Golden Retriever Rescue here in Las Vegas. There are a lot of people who buy these big dogs as puppies and don't understand that they are going to grow. When they get too big they get rid of them. I wish people would be more educated when taking on a dog. They are like children. When I bought my first golden, Miles 7 years ago I had no idea what I was doing. I saw the parents and the cute little puppy faces and I fell in love immediately. I have learned so much from reading all of your posts. I have been doing a lot of research on this website in regards to what to look for and what questions to ask breeders. I would separate my animals until I feel they are ready to be mingled with each other. My goldens do shed alot ALOT! They are not good for people who have are asmatic or allergic. But they are lovers. That's for sure.
