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.
