I feel that once the little puppies are in the stores (and I know for a fact that all of them do not come from puppymills) - but whether or not - they are all entitled to good loving homes. I would never fault a person for taking one of these little puppies home.
**** I know everyone says that if we stop buying puppies at pet stores - the puppymills will go out of business. I don't agree with this at all. I think we have to go to the source -to the puppymills themselves, and shut them down. Trying to make any effect after these little puppies are already in stores as far as I'm concerned - is too late! The puppies in these stores need homes.

I AGREE! My post wasn't merely about not buying the puppy because of the chance of it being sick or being from a puppymill, but it was also about the fact that they were charging an ARM AND A LEG! 1299 for the males and 1499 for the females. I know that some of you YTers have paid DOUBLE, but that is just too much for me at the moment. I WOULD LOVE ANOTHER ONE! hehe
I even called the boyfriend from the store and explained to him the situation. Me=balling my eyes out + the cutest puppy in the world staring at me with those bright eyes and rubbing its little nose against the glass window= one sad sad story. To make it worse the boyfriend was super supportive and asked me if I wanted to buy him because he thought Oliver needed a friend! AWWW! But our landlord won't let us have more than one dog!
Needless to say, I still had to walk away from those babies!
