I used to work at this pet store and it used to be really decent. But people get greedy and turn their inventory from a high of 50 puppies in the store to 100. That kind of order requires more puppies at lower costs meaning poor quality animals are being brought in. Poor quality means sick, unhealthy, size abnormalites, etc. I also had a very good assumption that the breeders lied about their age and I can't even begin to open up the secret portals to their ideas of ""good breeders."" Just because you have the name of the breeder doesn't mean its a good one. But they do have great ideas...the play pools and how they exercise their dogs. But again, once upon a time when there were less puppies, it was easier to exercise them and the puppies would get multiple play times. More dogs just equals less amount of time for the pups to get out which makes them less different from the other pet stores. And if they could hire people who worked hard and kept up it would make everything a lot better. But that costs money and once you've become greedy enough to wreck your reputation just by upping inventory you can only imagine that wages aren't going up. And they raise the dogs 350 to 400 percent from the price they buy them. Nonetheless, ALL pet stores are horrid. Anyone who makes money off the mass distribution of puppies is wrong. But people will never learn that and until they do pet stores will always be around and hereditary and congenital health problems with always be a problem.
Pros: The dogs do get out of the cages
Cons: Everything is poor quality. Could be better
