Breeders are not required to disclose who they sell to so... It's not illegal and the USDA allows it. I know because my Mia is from Petland (before I knew about these places) and I researched it afterwards. It's very disceiving because you think that if they're AKC that they're coming from decent breeders - not ever true. I don't mean to offend anyone but no "good" breeder would ever put their puppies in a petstore. Good for you helping rescue dogs - I wish more would do that and then these puppymills would be out of business.



Sorry I don't know why the top is showing up like that
