A lady in Marla's puppy class got a pup from the same place ---- she bought it as a lhasa apso -- doesn't even look like one. Has a scissors bite, long nose, wiry wheat-coloured hair...Was very shy and timid of everything. Any noise, any person, any dog. Had a terrible temperament. And wasn't healthy at that. The lady was very dissapointed, admitted that she knew she took a risk -- she knew pet store puppies came from puppy mills -- but the puppy was just too cute to resist. She's paying for it now.

So, do these pet stores buy these puppies from mills, or how does that work?
It is my opinion that anyone who sells puppies to a pet store or broker is a puppy mill. I don't care how good your practices are, if you are selling your puppies to a pet shop, you are supplying -- suppliers are mills. I would NEVER give my puppies to a pet store EVER. And the staff there have offered to sell them for Marla on several occasions when Marla had a couple puppies leftover without homes. Marla said no every time and wound up giving the puppies to good homes -- better giving them away to good homes than selling them to a place who will place them in God only knows what conditions.
