The vet I would want to deal with and to continue to deal with, should keep themselves aware of ALL current issues with dogs and their welfare. And off the bat, give the huge and continuing press over the years,puppy mills and pet stores, and the link between them as a very minimum.

Unless you purchase a dog from a show breeder as a show dog, and have a breeding contract, no dogs should be bred out of pet stores or puppy mills.

It would be elucidating to know overall in North America, "why" ppl surrender dogs to the shelters.
