About 3 years ago I bought a female puppy from this store. When I got her, she had kennel cough, round worm, giardia, and coccidia. The kennel cough and round worm were treated by Sunrise Pet Center's contract vets. The giardia and coccidia were discovered by my long-time vet. At approximately 9 months old, this puppy was diagnosed with a significant case of hip dysplaysia by my vet after I noticed that the puppy ran in an ""odd "" manner. \r

I have researched my dog's background using the paperwork provided by Sunrise Pet Center and the internet. She comes from a puppy mill in Long Lane, Missouri, and was sent to California by the well-known puppy brokers/distrbutors at Tracy's K & J Pets in Fair Grove, Missouri. Her pedigree reflects several known puppy mills, including one that routinely auctions its puppies at large puppy auctions.\r

I have been in the store several times since then and the ""puppy sources"" (for their puppies ) are states that are typically known for puppy mills, Kansas, Missouri, etc.
