thanks for your sound advice | Pet stores are for the most part supplied by Puppy Mills...Need I say more. You don't know what you'll get. While all pups are cute (remember that, when you're looking for a breeder, because those desreputable ones are counting on that you'll fall in love with that cute puppy). Stay away from classifieds, internet, BYBers & puppy mills. If you find something that you think maybe to your likeing...come back and share it with us....
I know that some of the comments have been harsh, but so many on here have done what you planned to do, rush. Believe me they've had a lot of heartache. So, take your time, this is a life time committment......There is a couple of stickies on here that give you information on how to buy a puppy and find a good breeder.
Remember we only have your interest at heart and of course your new puppy.
In addition buying from a pet store only perpetuates the puppy mill syndrome. Find a good breeder, support good breeders. |
