Well if one were friends with the owner of a privately owned petstore, then one would trust that the owner would see that they went to good homes.
A small privately owned pet store might screen the customers. Did your breeder make a visit to your home to make sure that everything you told her was the truth. Did they do a criminal background check to make sure that you hadn't been imprisoned for animal abuse? Mine didn't.
All the screening is good in theory, but how widely is it practiced?
Not trying to be argumentative.
