Though a majority of pet stores buy from puppy mills, there's no way to know which ones do and which ones don't. Our local pet stores sell sick dogs ( at least the people I've spoken to all have had their pups get very sick post purchase). I would never buy from a pet store as I believe the majority of pet stores do not sell quality dogs, so why buy someone else's problem? Keep searching you'll find one eventually, if not post on YT what sex, etc., you're looking for and maybe a member who breeds lives in your area will contact you that they have pups available for you to come see.
