Please don't buy from a pet shop. Pupies that come from mils come from horrible conditions. They are crammed into cages an forced to breed until they die. The puppies carry genetic diseases and most die soon after people buy them unless they get tons of medical care. They may seem perfectly healthy at the store but problems arise soon after beng taken home. Puppies from pet stores are not bred in ethical places even if they tell you they come from reputable breeders. Rescued dogs can come with a full story of their background or you can get a puppy from shelter. You can get purebreds from breed rescues. Try searching www.petfinder.com for dogs in your area.
