I got Buddy from a brooker/petstore. I didn't know it then but I know it now
after finding YT.
He came with paper's and a vet visit within 48hrs. He was welped in
Budapest, Hungary.
I took him to their vet, which turned out to also be my girlfriend's.
He stated he checked him when he came for his first visit from
the brooker. He remembered him because he had the cleanest ear
canals he has ever seen on a puppy and remember his size, 6lbs at
the time, 14 wks old. I got lucky. He was beautiful and healthy and still is.
I would never purchase another now that I know about puppymills
and BYB.
Actually, I would only purchase another if I can actually see them
and met the parent's. Perhaps a rescue down the road may also be
an option. I really want another but not until I retire.
