| What's with Celebs and Pet stores? I'm watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians and they just went to a Petstore and bought a puppy. I would think that celebs would know about puppymills and would easily be able to find a good breeder with all their resources. Why do they keep going to petstores? However, the maltese puppy they got was sooo cute! And the puppies on their website are really adorable. But I guess all puppies are cute. http://www.poshpuppy.info/

| I could not believe it. I turned the show off when they bought from Posh Puppy. I like the show overall but not the buying of a puppy from a pet store.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | They buy on impulse and don;t want to be bothered reesearching good breeders. The pet stores probably give them the dogs for the free publicity they get. So sad

| Any store that sells living pets doesn't get any of my money! IMO, if you buy anything from a pet store that sells pets you are contributing to the problem just the same as if you bought your pet there. |

| I think they are unaware, and it was quit obvious that the only research they did was look at all the puppies on the site. I'm just waiting for PETA to be all over them, but they probably won't because it wasn't Britney. Did anyone else also think it was wrong to leave that little girl to take care of the new puppy while the Kris went to Vegas?

| Not surprising to me... (Most) Celebrities know nothing more than themselves. And I definately wouldnt expect those type of chicks to know more than their names... Let alone where or how to buy a puppy.

| at it again The show is re-running today. It is so sad. I went on the website when it came on and there is so much traffic on it you can't get on it. The puppies were adorable, but so so sad that this show is encouraging getting puppies for the wrong reason at the wrong place. |

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | .... Maybe they do know, and consider it a 'rescue'. Anyway, that's what I'd like to believe.
