When buying puppies, please make a commitment to research the breeder. You must be able to meet the parents in person, see where the litters have been born and find out what kind of puppy socialization the breeder intends to do, find out if the breeder has done medical screening on the parents and find out how long the breeder intends to keep the littermates together for socialization. For every pet store puppy that you "buy", you are supporting a market where animals are treated as a product - a commodity to be bred and sold for profit. Only one out of ten pet store puppies born, will live to see a full life. Maybe you are that one responsible person who will make a life long commitment to your pet store puppy, but you may not realize that nine other dogs will have to suffer because of your purchase. You will never see them or know them or hear of their fate - but it is the reality of animal breeding. No ETHICAL breeders sell their animals to pet stores.
