I got mine from a backyard breeder... I knew better than to buy a dog from a store in the mall or something like that, but I'm still not thrilled with the woman I bought Nikko from either. Besides the pup having giardia (which we are in the process of trying to get of still), my other complaints are pretty tame compared to many stories I've read on YT, but still - not thrilled with the experience.
Long story short though, I think a dog-purchasing version of dontdatehimgirl.com would be AWESOME. Not only would it be helpful to people who are looking for a pup, but I think it could also be helpful to the pups themselves. Some dog sellers might be more motivated toward higher standars of health and care if they knew there was a central place where anyone could view customer satisfaction ratings and reviews, and dog sellers who are already great could post a link to their own review on the site as a selling point.
Very very cool idea. :-)
