Exclamation Petland is shady

Today,
I got a little curious and wanted to see if what ive read about petland it true, so i went up to my local petland and went inside to ask some questions. I asked a lady there i said that ive read that the puppys you sell here come from puppy mills is that true? She said no way thats not true at all and got really defensive about it. So I asked to see a puppy, she was a yorkie/fox terrier mix and i asked a dumb question to see what shed say so i asked her if she was a pure bread yorkie she said yes. I was like she nots a full bread yorkie if shes part fox terrier. Then I asked the lady if i did buy a puppy from there would i be able to talk to the breeder in which you got the dogs from, she said that i personally could not that id have to talk to the owners, i said you told me that they come from good breeders and come with papers so why cant i talk to the breeders she said its company rules not for buyers to talk to the breeders, that threw up another red flag to me. Then she told me that all the puppies come with a 3 year birth defect warrenty to cover hip problems, back problem ect. and a 60 days health warrenty incase they pick something up at the store. I said the good breeders will give you a 1 year health warrenty covering all of that why dont you guys do that, she got defensive again and said well do those breeders give you a free spay/neuter i said as a matter of fact they do, if you bring the paperwork back to them showing that your puppy has had that done they will give you like 100 dollars back from what you paid, and you get to go to your vet to get it done. She said with that free neuter/spay you have to go to the vet they tell you to go to. Another red flag, then i asked how much she was and she said 899.99 with papers. (My girlfriend just bought Payslee Grace for 700.00 + papers full bread) Then the lady showed me the new puppys they just got in and said we just got them today, we get a new shipment of puppies EVERY WEDNESDAY! I was like what that dont sound right at all. Before i went in there today i have noticed that there are people who picket petland saying the very thing i went in there to ask, that they get there puppies from puppy mills. After i talked to that lady i felt that i should come on here and let everyone know about this.
