[tikeyas_mom]

well when you can see the tattoos .. What do you think??

[Kfamr]

I didn't think tattoos meant anything really, Simba has one, he's not a pure bred.

[tikeyas_mom]

I dint say they were pure bred did I?? They are still the cutest dogs and puppies EVER!!

[iwuvsmypuppy]

i am not on either side because if you take them away you are sayin" go and get a dog from the Humane Sociaty" or "go and get an AKC dog" and for people who dont have the money for an AKC dog or who cant find a dog with some training that they need for it to have at the HS if you keep them you are saying " we let people come and bond with a dog before they buy it, and so you dont have to risk getting a diseased one somewhere else"

[Kfamr]

Um, ok.

What do you think puppy mills are? They BREED, animals, therefore, they ARE BREEDERS. I'm sorry, but no responsible breeder would *ever* sell a puppy to a pet store.

Stopping the sale of puppies in pet stores would DEFINITELY help, it would not help puppy mills. People do not buy directly from puppy mills, like Karen said...the dogs are in awful conditions, the public is not allowed in there.

If they stopped selling puppies in pet stores, puppy mills would no longer have anywhere to supply puppies too. Pet stores could have pets from shelters instead.

I've asked our local pet stores where they get puppies from too. There is no way to find out if they are lying or not, unless you get the actual address information about the breeder, and visit them for yourself.

And I don't know where in the world you are going with the tattoo thing.....what does that matter? Even if they are AKC purebred that doesn't mean they came from a good breeder.

Are you saying the dogs the the HS are diseased? Cause that is such a lie.

What the? I'm sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense. "Getting a diseased one somewhere else".....the place you are MOST LIKELY to get a sick dog, in my opinion, is from a pet store.

And why shouldn't we encourage people to get dogs from the Humane Society or responsible AKC breeders? Can't afford an AKC dog? Wow, your pet stores must be really cheap then, as all the pet stores here sell any dog, and breed, for AT LEAST $400...if not more.

Dogs from the humane society come in diseased sometimes but they DO NOT adopt them out diseased. they keep them seperated from other dogs or animals until they are fully recovered from whatever they have. Like Nala, she was treated for kennel cough and she had just been treated for it and when she was all better they put her and her littermates out for adoption NOT when they were diseased.

The puppy store that they CLOSED DOWN near here charged $400-$500 just for a little maltese pup, in which they had crust eyes, somewhat matted hair and dry noses 24/7.

[tikeyas_mom]

well then I guess I bought Tikeya from a backyard breeder. or PUPPYMILL. ..

Where did you get Nebo Wolf_Q??

The spca here sells their pups for 131.00 both female anf male.

Oscar was also from a breeder. a shih tzu breeder, tikeya was from a lady whohad three siberians one male and two females. One female was fixed the other was the mom.

[tikeyas_mom]

The prices of the puppies at the pet stores here are rediculas. They sell a cross pup for 500.00$ depending on how small it is. soo dum

[Kfamr]

I never knew the SPCA sold dogs.

[tikeyas_mom]
