| I met a woman with a maltese at the dog park on the weekend..her Maltese was bought from a petstore~~ at 6 weeks...almost died was sick for 4 months...has the WORST red eyes ever (tearing)...and she still isn't housebroken at 1-1/2 years old...she is skiddish, aggressive..and barks at every other dog..poor thing..at least I told his owner about Petstores and why in the future she should try to see the breeder and at least the mother to see breeding practices, temperment etc... and informed 1 more person!!

| Gidget is from a pet store (The person who bought her was a impuse buyer and then we took her in) But luckly she is really healthy.....A bit nutty but knock on wood no health issues....It always breaks my heart to see all the animals in pet shops |

| This is a shame , these co - called dog breeders should be stop in their tracks and right away . Reality is that there will always be breeders like them as long as there will be desperate buyers wanting to purchase those pups . We have to inform the prospective about puppymills , petstores . I am sure that the puppies will be rescued and placed in new homes , the Yorkies , the mix breeds and the kittens too . They deserve better than this . |
