Yea I think thats where I differ a little from the majority of forum members here. As long as the dogs are loved and taken care of and are healthy, I'm not really against (or for either) selling dogs "for a profit". There are many bad pet shops in korea, but the ones my friends got theirs raise their own dogs. They have their own pet shop because i doubt any korean will want to trust a home breeder since KKC is not as known as AKC is. They have a one year guarantee where they pay for the full vet service for a year if they are sick, whatever it may be, and it also includes the required shots. Also a full money back guarantee if the puppy dies from sickness. Most koreans who have "researched" buy their dogs from pet shops that raise their own dogs, have clean facilities, have great guarantees, and they make sure to buy from places that have 5 star ratings from previous customers who purchased their dogs from the store. The internet "rating system" is huge in Korea and most customers base their buying factors from other reviewers. Also, I've noticed that they bring their dogs back to the pet shop to visit the shop owners from time to time, take pictures with them to upload on their blog, they return to get their dogs groomed there, etc. I'm not saying this is good in any way (nor bad), I'm just saying this is how its done in korea.
