Buying from a pet store is very bad all pet store pups come from puppy mills or in some cases extremely bad breeders. No reputable breeder would give there pups to a pet store to sell because they want to know and meet who is getting there pups. Getting a pet store pup also means they didn't do genetic testing and you could very well end up with a very sick pup or a pup who gets sick later on down the line with a genetic illness. Buying a pup for a puppy mill supports puppy mills and the pain and torture that there parents go through. Please research puppy mills and see if you still want to buy your puppy from there and to support that. My Callie came from a puppy mill I didn't know about brokers and such and that is who I bought her from and when I found out more about puppy mills I looked up the name of who was on Callie's papers and sure enough it ended up being a puppy mill. Callie has LP one of which has had to be operated on and cost over $3,000 and she is going to have to have the other one operated on as well she also has bad skin issues, she has a very strange hypoglycemic episodes that the reason for them cannot be diagnosed and collapsing trachea. She also turned out to be 16 pounds. Puppy mill pups can end up costing you a lot of money. I could not imagine my life with out Callie but I do feel so bad for the life her parents must be or did live.
