I got all of my animals either from a shelter or a local breeder. My newest addition, Tucker a yorkipoo is coming from friends of ours.
My cousin got a boxer puppy from a petstore that she paid 3000 dollars for
and the dog is a mess. Medical wise she is fine, but physically she is a wreck, she cant leave the house without panicking, she shakes, cowers, doesnt like to be petted by anyone, is petrified of kids. My cousin has been working with her for almost 2 years now and the dog is still this way. I honestly have never seen a dog like her and I wont let her around my kids cause Im afraid that she will snap and bite them. I feel bad for the dog because its not her fault that she was born into this world.
Please please please dont not buy a puppy from a petstore.
