| A shocking eye opening must watch This is where our puppies came from Missouri factory, where they get the breeding parents are from not too reputable puppy mills not as bad but pretty much the same. So we have two problems. Check out the Marketplace with Wendy Mesley report How Not to Buy a Puppy | CBC News: Marketplace on the facilities, both countries are to blame for the way they are handling the puppies sold in the stores and brokers. We are really blind sided by what’s out there. The Hunte Corporation - Providing the happiest, healthiest puppies around. You shld have a better idea of what’s really going on with puppies….

| The Pet Habitat that keeps being shown in the CBC News report is the store that we bought our pug dog from 7.5 yrs ago. It sounds like they deal with Hunte, which explains why we have had health problem, after health problem, after health problem with our dog. The whole reason that we bought our pug from that pet store is because we felt sorry for her (and didn't know any better). She was being kept in the bottom cage and was freezing cold for 4 weeks straight. Nobody was buying her probably because she was ridiculously expensive. She was so tiny that her little feet kept falling through the holes in the bottom of the cage. She couldn't walk around properly to access her food, water etc. When I approached the owner and pointed out that she was shivering like mad and freezing cold, and I asked "don't you have a blanket or something that you can give her". He replied gruffly, "oh they all do that, we don't give them blankets so that they have nothing to get attached to". So we forked out the ridiculous price of $1,400 and bought her, and we've spent thousands in vet bills ever since! DO NOT BUY FROM PETSTORES
