All of my dogs came from breeders. I got my sheltie from a friend of my moms, he was sold to another person that beat him as a pup.
Once the breeder found out he was taken from that home by the breeder, I got him from her at 1.5 years old. He is now 8 and a wonderful dog. My beagle and my toy poodle both came from reputable breeders, that only had a few litters a year. I waited along time for my poodle
. My yorkiepoo came from a friend. Wasnt planning on adding another dog to our family, but saw the pups the day they were born and of course fell in love.

Ive certainly been in petstores before and ohh and aahed over the dogs, but they were always priced so high that we never decided to get one. I didnt no that those poor pups were puppymillers.
My cousin got a dog from a pet store, paid a almost 4000 dollars for her and the dog is a nut case.
