FYI - Often when people buy a pup from a pet shop they do not know that the pet store doubled the price they paid for the pup. If they got the pup from a broker, which is in many cases, the broker doubled their price they paid for the pup from the breeder to sell to the pet shop. So a pup selling at say, 1,000. from a pet shop was bought at 500. from the broker. The broker most likely only paid 250. for the pup from the broker. Everyone making money from this pup and its parents. So makes you really think, how much care could the breeder have paid for to sell the pup at 250. when we know the cost of vet care. So chances are not pretty good that this pup got hardly any care if any.
