It is unbelievable that gullible people will still fall for the cute puppy in the window syndrome. These dogs come from commercial breeders known as puppy mills. They are rarely offered the opportunity to see sunlight, feel grass, play with a ball or chase a child. They are for breeding. The offspring usually have genetic problems from generations of in breeding that won't show up until later in life. Your ""designer breed"" is a mutt. Plain and simple. There are thousands of dogs being killed in shelters across the country and people still support these puppy mill outlets. It is abuse people! Any entity selling these dogs supports animal abuse! Please go to a shelter or find a rescue organization for the breed you want. This has to end. Shame on the City of Sarasota for allowing this place to do business.
