Is it even legal to sell a 6 week old puppy in KY?

Yes people sell them even younger it's horrible our Animal Control needs a swift kick in my opinion.

dont want to rain on anyones parade, because im happy that your puppy has found a good home...BUT........ i was watching a documental abou PUPPY MILLS. As most of us are aware they are they most humane, horrid and upsetting places for any animal involved. The PETSHOPS are part of this chain, and i would never ever buy a puppy from a petshop. These people get these dogs from these dreadful places and sell them in their shops even if they say they dont. THEY ARE LIEING........ The people that buy from petshops think they are doing the puppy a favour, and saving it, but all you are doing is creating a chain for the petshop. Once that puppy has been sold, they are already replacing it with another poor puppy from the PUPPYMILL. The best thing anyone can do is boycote the puppymills and petshops and buy from reputable breeders. I was so angry when i read your post, 1 that puppies are still sold in petshops, 2 the tail docking... Sorry for the rant, but this makes me so mad

I so totally agree! It makes me up set and its true they do have batches and batches of puppy's they seal not just Yorkie's but all kinds. But I had to save Tibbs I just fell in love with him and I do not regret it but I will also never do a pet shop buy!
