www.puppylandla.com has anyone ever got a puppy from there in the LA area? |
Please don't buy a puppy from a pet store. Almost all of them come from puppy mills and you run a great risk of having a very sick puppy on your hands. High vet bills aside, it would be so heartbreaking to watch the puppy you fall so much in love with become very ill. I had a close friend whose daughter bought a pug puppy (Frankie) from a pet store in our mall. He was so sick. He didn't show any symptoms until a couple of weeks after she brought him home. I can't remember his exact diagnosis but he had encephalopathy (swelling of the brain). He wasn't expected to live. Frankie ended up with a miracle and he is fine now (3 years later) but it's just not worth the risk, heartache, and expense. There is alot of good information here on pet stores and puppy mills and puppy brokers. I'm sure someone else with lots more knowledge than me will chime in. Good luck with your search for a puppy! |
I agree with you Please don't buy from the pet store.... It's heartbreaking................I got one almost 4 months ago and.............. she's gone now.......... :( it's been 3 1/2 weeks now.......:( If I only knew...... but it's your choice.... I suggest to do some research........ |

Why do you want to buy from puppy mill/ store? Too many great breeders around. That way you will know what you are getting. DOWN WITH PUPPY MILLS. |
so I am trying to understand this, you should always be down with a private owner who owns a pet store? even if he is a yorkie breeder? |
I tried getting it from the breeder at first but when they found out that I have kids that is under 10.....they hang up........ I wanted it so bad....I\'ve waited for 5 years to get prepared but no luck from the breeder..... I only have 1 choice.........the pet store....... my kids looooved my Chloe......They were very gentle and caring with her....I didn\'t know why the breeders didn\'t want to sell me one....:confused: |
I am still trying to get my money back .... I spent $830 in vet bills and they won\'t pay it back.....they will only pay 150% for the dog but not the vet bills... so I gave them a copy of california lemon law...:D I don\'t know what the response yet.......... I JUST WANT MY CHLOE BACK!!!:cry: |
Where do pups in the pet stores come from? Do you know of any good breeder that would sell to a store? |
Have you talked to many breeders? |
They came from many different states. I talked to some breeders and wouldn\'t give me one..... I went online to find a breeder in california . I also went to AKC website to find a reputable breeder but no luck they wouldn\'t give me one because of the kids....I cannot get rid of my kids:D .....:eek: |
