This is what Jim said. He said GOD FORBID one of our babies get sick and he's right and you're right and I AGREE with you both (you are totally right) but someone please tell my heart to stop and get over it!! I know I can't save them all but I just seem to stop obsessing over them!! :(

OMG those poor babies... As much as I lecture to stay away and dont support the puppy mills. I think I would feel differently if I were to hold them. The picture of the little chi doesnt look right, his eyes arent set right they are almost off to the sides of his face and his head is really domed, chihuahuas are prone to a disease called hydrocephelus (water on the brain), this doesnt mean its a death sentance for this cute little pup. I have a friend with a yorkie (well 2 friends) both their dogs have hydro, one of them is 9 years old hes a little slower but gets around in life really well. My other friend her dog is 2 or 3 and doing very well also.
I really hate to say this and I cant beleive Im saying this... If if bothers you so much that you left them go and save them. Im sure rescue would take them if you cant rehome them. Explain your situation to them Im sure they wont turn you away.
Maybe if you offer to buy both of them they will cut you a price break...

This is why I cannot even go and look at the puppies...I think this is also the reason so many pet shop puppies are sold.. People feel bad for them and want to save them.
Like someone else said its a no win situation but.... for the dogs you are going to save those dogs do win

I agree with everyone that you should follow your heart. I have been in your situation and I know how hard it is to not buy them. It breaks my heart to think of what they have to go through there, but then it is true that they will be replaced by 2 more if you buy them. This is why I can never go into petstores that sell puppies.

yea ive heard of puppy city never been there
they closed the world of pets on staten island i was so happy i went in there when looking for a yorkie before brownie im glad i didnt go there

yes they do well if you hear a dog coughing would u buy it ? lol
also it helps keep the cages cleaner (not that they are lol)
there very lazy workers in that store

ive been tempted a few times but im sorry my babies come first
someone will buy these puppies if u dont esp the chihuahua
i dont know its really hard and these dogs are prob gonna cost an arm and a leg there both prob very sick who know what else is wrong with them
im just really worried about your babies & i feel bad for them at the same time

ok here i go again lol

there price is going to be $2,198 with out tax my friend paid $2,000 in vet bills for her yorkie
so your looking at $6,000 unless there healthy which i doubt

Thats true I didnt even think about them making your dogs sick. I wuldnt chance it then

Its a sad yet no win situation :(

I am so against puppymills. They breed sick puppies but with that being said if you can save two that have had a miserable life so far I would. But at the expense of your already healthy pets? Keep in mind they could be sick and cost alot of additional money in vet bills. I know pet stores offer a guarantee but who would take a sick dog back to hell?
To shut down those pet stores would be a blessing for thousands of animals, it is a very tough descion that only you are able to make, How far are you willing to go? How much money are you willing to spend?...YOU CAN'T SAVE THEM ALL is true...but you could save two?

Good luck with whatever you decide....

I'm sorry you are having such a huge dilemma. I can totally understand how hard it would be. Everyone here has a valid point. You're just going to have to weigh the options. They very well could make your babies sick... especially Cali.

I agree that the Chihuahua's eyes look off - that's the first thing I noticed. The coloring is beautiful though.

Good luck... not many people would even consider purchasing them to save them, you're a very kind-hearted person :)

puppies
 

The problem is this...so many pups bring illness in to your own pets...there was a woman on another forum who posted her dogs got parvo and died from one she brought in...I feel so bad for these pups, but can never take a chance on making mine sick...even something non fatal like ring worm or ear mites are a mess to clear up...

Have you made a decission?

I don't suport mills either BUT its not their fault they are there and if I could afford it I probably would get them.

Do they come with any type of health quarentees?

Follow your gut.....maybe you were drawn in there for a reason......ya know?

OMG that Chi is adorable! I love him!

I am sorry for your dilemma. I can't tell you what to do! I can only admit that no matter how bad I felt for them I could not put mine at risk. Those pic's are very depressing. Seeing that poor labs face its so unhappy! I feel for it just seeing the pic I don't know if I could turn away had I held it. I hope that you are able to come to a decision and find peace about the matter!

As long as people buy dogs from a Pet shop, there will be unimaginable suffering from those left to breed starting with first heat and every one after till it can no longer have a litter then it's shot. The live in wire cages 24-7, no warmth or shelter from wind and rain. They are sick, never see a Vet. and are in constant pain from rotting teeth, fleas, ticks and health problems. Take a look at these two sites. On the first site, click on photos & videos. Do you want to be responsible for this? We need to picket those pet stores that sell dogs and cats, not line their pockets.
