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> |
The anti-puppymill websites all have the necessary info and paperworkk to ask a pet store for to verify that the breeders are NOT puppymills. I will find a direct link and post it later.
I respect your opinion on the fact that
YOU don't feel ANY pet stores should sell puppies, but you will not get unanimous agreement on that from this membership as a whole since there are too many who have dealt with reputable pet stores and will continue to do so. Just do a search on Quality Canines in Brooklyn on this site and see how many of our New York members got their puppies there and rave about the owner.
