Just so you know, when you purchase a dog at a pet store, you are most likely perpetuating the continuation of puppy mills. Sure, your puppy may be healthy and live a long and happy life, but it's parents and many, many more dogs are left to suffer their entire lives living in deplorable and cruel conditions just so the puppy mill owners and the pet store owners can make a profit. You can get practically any breed of dog from a reputable small breeder or even better yet, a breed specific rescue group. Sure, you may have to wait a period of time instead of going out on a Saturday and picking up your puppy on a whim, but in the end you are doing nothing but putting money in the pockets of people who could care less about the lives of the thousands of dogs left to suffer and die in the puppy mills. Steve will say he does not get his dogs from mills, but records prove he does. When you go into his store, ask to see the records of where the puppies come from then do your research and you will find out the truth.
