Whats you opinion of selling puppies in a shop?

When good, quality purebred breeders sell cats/dogs, it is for the betterment of the breed and to keep the strong, healthy bloodlines running. Puppies and kittens sold by pet stores do not concern themselves with selling pure, disorder free bloodlines....they are in it for one thing....the mighty dollar.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a pup from a petstore. I go in and torture myself enough looking at em! And they are all from HORRID backgrounds. I would get a Cpl good Rescues and just have them come to the shop certain days of the week.
I was looking to get another dog to add to the Family. And I went to 4 different shelters in the area.. Looking for a Pittie.. or Bullie Breed. Only 2 of the 4 would adopt to me because I rent. Yes I could get another breed.. But, I wanted one that no one else wanted. And if my landlord OKs it, why couldn't I have one?? Well, I found me a Shar-Pei/Boxer/Pit mix. :-)

There has to be shelters out there trying to get there dogs seen. Good luck!
