purchased their pets from breeders and have had many heartaches due to
illnesses. So what is the difference? Unless you are showing and really know
the top breeders for that purphase you stand a chance of getting a pup with
problems. Worms, LP, grows to large etc. I read it over and over. I wish all
puppymills would be forced to close down so the bred dogs could be saved but it is not the puppy's fault and they deserve a loving home.

Just to clarify... my problem is not with the store itself being there. I DO have a MAJOR issue with the apparent lack of care being given to these animals and the conditions they are subjected to living in. If they were well taken care of, I would not be so upset!
