I've read all about the puppy-mill horrors (regarding PBPUPS.COM and PETLAND) - but now my heart has been stolen.
Petland says the puppy is ACA registered. This is also concerning - even though I will never breed the pup. They are charging 1999.99 - which looks to be around the price point for a pure AKC pup.
I am looking for any words of advice.
I also found a 9 week pup in the classifieds - no papers - 600 quick sale. Should I run? |
If you can afford two grand for a pup, why aren't you looking at reputable breeders?
