I am sorry if I & others have made you feel like you can't win for loosing but there are the facts & then there is the rest. I was a Vet Tech for many yrs & know all to well the suffering the offspring of mill dogs go through. If you research the conditions that I provided you with in one of my other posts you can see that some of these conditions don't even show up in a dog till yrs later & they appear to be completely healthy as pups. You see, a Vet can only see what's on the outside & most people don't want to pay for an x-ray or an MRI to see if there are any congenital defects on the inside. A reputable breeder knows their lines & IF a serious issue comes up with ANY of their pups, the breeder STOPS breeding it's parents IMMIDIATLY as a Reputable Breeder does not breed for the money but rather to better the breed. Puppy Mills & BYB's ONLY breed for the almighty $$$$$$. You mentioned that you have a Child ? What IF your Dr told you that you had a condition that would cut your life in half & 99.9% chance that IF you got PG & had a Child that the Child would have a 99.9% chance of also having this condition & most likely die before the age of 5yrs, would you still take that chance ? knowing that the child would suffer greatly & suffer a horrible life & death, would you do it ? As that's what BYB's & puppy mills do daily. How they sleep at night, I'll never know as I have many, many times seen these poor innocent pups & dogs die such horrible deaths. Now , ask yourself IF you can sleep at night knowing what you supported & Heaven forbid you end up with a pup with a life threatening condition, you will have to watch it suffer daily. Also you said the petstore you refer to as Petland is not connected with the "PETLAND" that we refer to???? this is not possible as "PETLAND" is a chain & they OWN the name, so if what you say were true "PETLAND" would have sued the pants off of them already. AND there have been store employees rite on the National News caught LYING about this EXACT thing. Bottom line PETLAND's are the scum of the earth!!!! I wish you luck on the search for your new family member & will PRAY that when you end up with a sick/dying puppy that you find a way to deal with it & explain what happened to that puppy to your child, wouldn't want to be in your shoes on that day.
