Just to be devil's advocate here...
It's funny how people are quick to declare "Don't buy from a pet store", as a blanket statement that all pet stores must be bad. People have never visited the specific pet store I mentioned, but are quick to make a comment. And no one here has any idea how the store makes most of it's revenue, whether it is from the selling of products at the retail level (collars, shirts, bed, food), or wholesale distribution, or the actual selling of puppies.
The cards that are placed alongside every puppy, includes the breeder's name and basic contact info.
Not every "pet store" has to be bad and must be buying from a puppy mill. Comment as you wish, but I just find it incredibly judgemental for people to ASSUME that ALL pet stores are inherently bad. I have spoken w/ the staff/owners of this pet store, and PERSONALLY, I'm quite pleased w/ the information I was told.
You don't have to purchase from the specific pet store that I mentioned. But I'm quite confident that the store mentioned does not purchase from a puppy mill. I know of another that does, and that is why they don't get my business.
