quote by Socal~"also don't like the fact that some seem to link "All Pet Stores" with puppymills which just isn't the case. Not ALL PET STORES get their puppies from puppymills as you know, Jennifer, from your experience with Quality Canines as do so many others on here as well. There are plenty of small Mom and Pop type pet stores all over the country that don't get their puppies from puppymills so I will always advise people not to get a puppy from a pet store that buys from puppy mills but I would not blanketedly say...."Do not buy from pet stores".


My question is,,,, Do you really believe, that if you ask ( a petstore) " Where do you get your pups from?" do you really think that any pet store would say " Oh yes, we get them from a puppy mill." So, how will you know the difference, between a so called good Pet store and a bad one that supplies dogs from mills?? My thinking is NO pet store should sell dogs,, then the demand would not be there,, and the Puppy Mill business would not be thriving. JMO>
