I always think about it like this...if I was selling (I prefer to think of it as adopting out) puppies how would I do it...screen people have them make a deposit and wait and continue contact etc. or have them walk in off the street give me some money and leave with one of my dogs-what kind of breeder hands their pups over to a retail store and then has them resale a puppy-well the answer is a puppy mill or back yard breeder or a shady for profit breeder...it really is that simple-if not show me one responsible breeder that sells to pet stores. There is one exception the local pet boutique LISTS local breeders; sometimes they display their pups in the grooming area (but you can't touch or contact them so you can't spread disease to them) they only do this to keep their home safe and unknown, but you meet them there fill out an application (they ask for your drivers license!) and they don't let you take a pup that day the process takes about a week unless they need more info-but the breeder does all this themselves. I'd totally have gotten one of my dogs there but they don't breed any breeds I'm interested in...
