Now...does this even make sense? What happens to the puppies that are not hand picked to go to the petstore? What happens to the dogs (because they did not get bought as puppies) that they "don't" kill? Perhaps, dropped off to some shelter or used in some breeding facility? And what about older puppies who are "tried out" at a new location? Who is socializing them? Paying for their vet bills? Petstore owners...out of the goodness of their hearts??? NOT Good Breeders DO NOT sell to petstores!!! To believe anything else is to be naive or delusional. I'm glad Molly's doing well...but don't believe for a heartbeat that your precious furbabies Mom is somewhere being forced to breed over and over and over again. And that her littermates are sitting in another petstore waiting for someone to come along to buy them. Breeders selling to petstores are doing it for the $$$$$, not for the love of the dog. |
