I own a puppy that had been purchased at Posh Puppy. I have him, because the woman who bought this puppy could not take care of him. He is the love of my life; however, I knew from the beginning (he was 4 months old when I got him) that something just didn't seem right. The vet pointed out that he has a hip problem. He is extremely bowlegged and has difficulty standing for long periods. He is also very shy and reserved - much like a dog that had been abused. When I asked the original owner about all of this, she said that the dogs at the store were wonderful, well cared for, and came from exceptional breeders. Now I know that this isn't the case. I became sick to my stomach when I read about their dogs coming from puppy mills, but at the same time, I felt that it answered all of the questions that I had about my little man. After much thought, I called the store (I have never been in one of their stores) and expressed my disappointment about how the public has been mislead about their dogs. Basically, it was confirmed that their dogs came from places that had been ""investigated"", and I was told that Posh Puppy is no longer selling dogs. I am grateful that I have my pup, and he is so adored, but I get upset every time I think of how he came to be. I did not have the opportunity to speak with the owners, and I have left my name and number with them, but if nothing more, the public needs to know that they mislead their customers. They lied about where the dogs came from, and people bought very expensive ""designer"" dogs from them under false pretenses. The Beverly Hills and Tarzana stores are still open, and are supposedly only selling pet supplies. However, I wouldn't even buy a dog toy from these people. Their greed and lies are a disgrace to the pet industry.
Cons: Store owners lied for their own benefit.
