I would thoroughly research one of the breeders from whom Laughlin gets their puppies. My puppy was born at ""Pick of the Litter"" in New York Mills, MN and after doing extensive research about them through the internet, I have come to the conclusion that they are a puppy mill. My puppy was initially hospitalized after receiving a bite from another dog, but he developed serious complications which perplexed my vet. He had pneumonia, aerophagia, seizures and giardia. Both vets at the animal hospital thought his symptoms were characteristic of distemper, but after reading the reviews on line about ""Pick of the Litter"", I wonder if my puppy was indeed vaccinated even though I have a slip of paper from Laughlin that states so. As our puppy's symptoms got worse each day despite numerous medications and operative procedures, we had to make the heart-wrenching decision to put him to sleep. PLEASE research Laughlin and their breeders before you make a purchase from them and maybe something positive can come out of this tragedy. Talk to your local vet about breeders who love and care for their dogs or contact a nearby shelter. I will never recommend Laughlin Kennels to anyone.
Cons: Reminded me of a puppy mill.
