Review content:
Reputable Breeders do not sell through Pet Stores, period. I have been a breeder and I have worked in breed rescue. Puppy Mills come in all shapes and sizes, but they are still puppy mills. \r
\r
A puppy mill owner breeds for the money, not for conformity or continuity of a breed. The web site for this pet store says they are ""home bred"", but offers no confirmation of that. That does not mean it is not a puppy mill. And the sheer volume of animals and diversity of breeds reeks ""puppy mill"". Plus, reputable breeders do not breed mutts and call them ""designer dogs"". \r
\r
Before you purchase a pup from this store, ask to visit the location where the pup was bred and born. Then actually go visit. If they are above board, they won't have a problem providing the information. They started a ""song and dance"" when I asked.\r
\r
I've read the health guarantee and buyers agreements for animals from this shop. Trust me, it is not anything like an agreement from a reputable breeder. The agreement does not protect the buyer, it only covers the seller. Proof they are only out to make a dollar is evident in the agreement and the outrageous sum they charge for mix breed puppies. I chose not to purchase from them.\r
\r
Check out the information on the website for the Humane Society of the US (Google it) for the definition of a puppy mill. \r
\r
If you want a dog, save a life at the animal shelter or contact a breed rescue. If you have trouble finding a reputable breeder or breed rescue, contact the American Kennel Club for recommendations. \r
\r
The only way we can put puppy mills out of business is to stop buying puppies from pet stores. Unfortunately, it looks like this is simply another case of a business closing at one location only to surface elsewhere under a different name.
