I'm NOT knocking breeders who do, I'm just playing devil's advocate! LOL

I understand, however all her dogs are checked out by the local town vet before you even go home with the dog! Also if the breeder knows the stores reputation and if its a very excellent reputation, why wouldn't the breeder sell his or her dogs to an excellent pet store where they know the dogs will be well taken care of.
My relative is very good about who she sends dogs home with, she won't sell a puppy if she thinks that the puppy isn't going to get the right kind of training, treatment, and care that all puppies and full grown dogs need and deserve.
I know its easy to say that all pet stores are bad, because there are allot of bad ones out there. But there are people out there who love animals so much that they dedicate there entire career to making sure that the puppies and dogs get the best homes possible.
I truly respect her and give her allot of credit for how well those animals are taken care of.
