Yesterday we went into this cute little pet shop and they had 2 blenheim pups, brother & sister in the window. They were too cute so we had to play with them. The girl at the store told me that they were AKC registered and gave me the dam & sires names (I told her I was considering so she let us play with them but from all ive read you DONT buy from pet shops). Basically she tried to convince me that the whole thing was Kosher- that they get puppies from this woman that checks her dogs and shes a qualified breeder and they only get puppies(all types) from 5 breeders and she would come with papers- and that I could show her and breed her.
Are all pet stores like that? Do they all just say anything to make you buy the dog? I felt so bad for that little girl, I hate to think someones going to buy her and breed her and know NOTHING about doing that. Obviously we didnt buy her. I just have this sad feeling.....There was another couple in there looking at the boy, and they were first time dog owners (perspective) and I told them discretly not to buy from that store...i hope that wasnt wrong of me. I just feel strongly that from everything ive learned pet stores are not the right place to go.
Sorry if this was a long winded pointless post!
sorry kinda weird post I guess but I wanted to share.
