Korea is teeming with puppymills.

Bottom line is turning a profit from selling dogs is wrong. If they are making the rent, they are making a profit. If they can pay employees, they are making a profit.

Now my question is, if these pet shops are "reputable" as you say, what happens if/when a puppy gets sick? What are the responsibilities of the shop or it's owner? Asian countries in general do not see animals in the same light as we do here, so I'd be hard pressed to believe they do any type of screening before selling these pups out.
