How many people here have bought a baby with no health issues from a pet store, only to have symptoms show in later years? I've been reading that health problems may arise later on and it's scaring me. I bought my puppies (both very healthy!) through a "local breeder" here in NY but I think it may be a puppy mill. I bought it (unknowingly) assuming that not all pet stores are "puppy mill" breeders that raise their dogs in unsanitary conditions.

(In Korea it is quite common and normal practice to purchase dogs from a "reputable" pet store because there are more untrustworthy or unknowledgeable BYB breeders. Reputable breeders set up a pet store in order to prove that they are serious in raising quality dogs with guarantees. This is just how it is in Asia- having a professional store with knowledgeable owners shows their commitment in breeding)
