It's hard to imagine that a store exists in 2008 that sells puppies.

These dogs are examined by legitimate veterinarians and odds are they're not from puppy mills. Another good place to find any kind of puppy or adult dog whether purebred or mixed is online at petfinder. They list thousands of dogs up for adoption in LA and across the country.

AND PAPERS LITERALLY MEAN SQUAT. The AKC and all these other ""CLUBS"" sell papers to puppy mills and backyard breeders, that's how they make their money. So save yourself a lot of money and save a life!
