Also, there is absolutely no health screening on puppy mill puppies or their parents & most often the purchaser of these mill bred pups will spend thousands on medical bills throughout the pups life. So PLEASE the next time you feel sorry for a pet store puppy, just turn around & walk away. If people stop buying these pet store puppies then the suffering can end for their parents. Honestly, these unscrupulous pet store owners need to be paying people to take these poor pups instead of charging people to take a dog that will only end up costing them their life savings to care for.

don't even get me started on these pet shop owners.
