I guess I get upset when people assume that all pet store puppies are sick or will get sick. I know a few people with pet store dogs and non of their dogs got sick. they have these babies as family pets for many years. At the pet shop we have here, the dogs do not look sick. They seem very hand friendly, playful and clean.
I also know people who went to breeders and got puppies who were sick... or that had problems later...
I get the feeling that some people feel like dogs that come from pet stores are not as good in some way... I don't believe any one dog is better then another...some get sick and some don't. Some die and some get better. They all deserve good homes for as long as they have. I hope Chewy stays healthy, but if he doesn't I'll love him any way and I'll take the best care of him I can... I just wish people would understand that what they see in one pet store is not the same every where...and unless i go to the place that Chewy came from I will never know if it was clean or dirty or a kennel that may have been half way decent or some horrible puppy mill....he deserves love no matter what.
