My dog came from a puppy mill. My daughter brought her home against my wishes knowing the risks, but she just had to have her. She spent her own money on the puppy and I figured we would be going through a heartbreaking lesson but we got very lucky in that she is perfectly healthy and she has earned her spot on my list as one of the best dogs we've ever had. She came with absolutely no health guarantee. Even though our experience has been ok, I will not get another puppy this way again. It is just too big a risk to take to fall in love with a little fur ball only to have health problems and possibly die as so many of them do. |
