You think buying from a breeder is expensive?
Puppy's from Pet stores have really bad health issues, and in fact OVER CHARGE
for their unhealthy dogs. Very rarely does a Pet shop dog not have any
sicknesses. Are you willing to take that chance? Here are some things you should evaluate:**note

Did
you know 40% of all dogs who end up in shelters are purebred?? You may find your
new dog at your local shelter!!
| Is it worth buying from a Pet shop and then having an unhealthy
dog? |
| How expensive will those vet bills be? |
| or better yet? will I be willing to spend hundreds of dollars on
the dogs health issues? |
| How happy will my family be with a sick dog? |
| What if the dog dies soon after purchase? |
| Breeders have written guarantees on their dogs for at least one
year, Most pet shops have "no return" policy OR you can return
them in 3 days maximum. Will you know ALL the health issues with that
dog in three days? |
| Am I willing to support animal abuse in order to (perhaps)
save some money? |
| If I have a concern regarding my dog, will the pet shop
help me with my questions and concerns? (The pet shop I got my two
dogs from refused to help me with my concerns, gave the me the name of the
"so called" breeder where they bought my two dogs from, and when I
wrote the "breeder" the breeder NEVER contacted me.) |
