Apparently many people think that. check out this notice posted on the petian site (they are a "grooming salon" that SELLS puppies!
)
"Dear Customers
We would like to inform you that several new policies have been made.
The reason for us to make these new policies and enforce it was due to the fact that many people have a misconception that our store is like a petting zoo. If you are interested in the puppy and true buyer, you would definitely make an appointment to see it again next time right?
· In order to touch the puppies, you must make an appointment ahead of time.
· You may not touch more than 3 different puppies at once.
· You can not touch the puppies more than 2 times in total, this means per family, two appointments are allowed.
· Hands will be sanitized before and after handling the puppy
Puppies will not be sold to families with children under the ages of 5 due to health risk for the puppy and children."
The underlined I'm surprised they actually post this. I wonder if they actually follow their own guidelines. I'm sure anyone with money who comes in they'll sell a dog to. I read a review on yelp that a girl who lives at home, walked in and put a deposit on a puppy, then went home, told her parents who said she can't get it. Of course they said, oh you can put that deposit towards any other puppy later.
