In November 2010 I was wandering around my local mall with my fiance when we walked into a pet store (The Pet Company). I hate going in these stores because I knew how bad these animals were treated and usually sick and I always wish I could save all of them. This day in particular I found my fur baby! I had no intentions of buying a pup that day but I fell in love with my yorkie the moment I laid eyes on her. She looked so sick, lethargic, and sad. I bought her that night and felt so happy that I was able to save her from that place. We took her to the vet and she had an upper respitoary infection, a parasite, and some kind of infection in her eye. This was all fixed with meds. I made sure to bring her places and socialize her with other dogs from a very young age. She is 2 now and will only nicely play with one other dog. Her pedigree shows so much inbreeding it disturbs me. This prompted me to do more research on the Stills and what I found was horrifying. I am so glad this thread exists and I hope whenever they are googled, people find this before every buying a dog from these people. While I wish all the dogs at their puppy mill could be resucued, that would mean they would continue to do what they are doing which is WRONG. To see those sheds on their website and think that MY BABY! was kept in there for sometime as a puppy makes me so mad and upset. I will continue to treat my pup as a princess even if she does not play well with other dogs. She absolutely loves our two guinea pigs and is the best companion ever. I wish the Stills could be shut down and those dogs sent to rescue homes to be loved the right way. I would hate to see this old couple on an episode of Animal Hoarders on Animal Planet.

I just for some reason never saw your post until today. I am so sorry you had to deal with these issues. I keep praying they will be shut down to this day but so far seems they are still in business. Laddy is great with other dogs only ever growled at 2 but as I said he has bad seperation anxiety. I know even well bred dogs can have some of these issues but you still wonder when you know the type of place they came from.
