None of my dogs were pet store puppies...

Shadow I got from my Aunt...not sure where she got her from, most likely BYB though

Micki and Mini - BYB...I really didn't know much about backyard breeders at the time, and we suffer from it. Micki has problems up the wazoo

Kyra - Mini's puppy Couldn't convice the rents not to do it...my dad grew up thinking it was beneficial for female dogs to have one litter...they are "better dogs"

Jack - Rescue, he was on his way to the shelter but an old man took him in and handed him over to a rescue instead and then we picked him up a month later.
