She weighs between 5-6 pounds now. She turned 4 in Feb. She's the dark one in my avatar. My baby girl.

Oh, I know what you mean. We had no idea about pet stores, puppymills, puppybrokers or backyard breeders when we got Mia. We had a black lab (Lucky) for 12+ years and really never thought about ever coming into contact with any of the above. I was just in so much pain over having to put Lucky down that I just thought I'd stop at Petland and "look" at the puppies. I had NO intention of buying one. Hmmm... all I had to do was hold my little Mia and I don't think I put her down after that.

They lied to me though. They post all over that they don't get their puppies from puppymills but they do. Again, the biggest one is The Hunte Corporation. After I realized where Mia came from I would just look at her and cry - thinking about the conditions her Mom & Dad had to live in. It doesn't change how much I love her - just how much I hate pet stores for buying from puppybrokers who are getting them from the puppymillers - who are all making money off these dogs.

Let me just ask you this... if you happened to have a litter of puppies would you just sell the whole litter to a pet store? Could you really trust them to find a loving and safe home for the puppies? Do you think that they check out these people who are buying the puppies? Would you want these little pups being sold to someone who breeds them every heat for years?

I bet you wouldn't... so who is? People who are mass breeding. People who are doing this for a living. Puppymillers. Believe me - someone who loves their dog and cares about where their puppies go after they leave them do not sell their dogs to pet stores.

Pet stores want them cheap so that they can make money off of them - plain and simple.

(I hope you don't take this wrong. I'm just trying to give you some information - not a lecture.)

Here's some info if you want to check it out.

Please give that little girl a big kiss from me!
