Ever ask where the pet shop gets it pure breed puppies? a lot of them deal with puppy mills-those awful places where the poor female is forced to have two litters a year, never really gets any exercise and attention-just the bare necessities of life-oh, sure the puppies are AKC but are they healthy? and what happens after two years-genetic defects show up because inbreeding, the cute little, tiny, itty bitty Yorkie-is probably a walking medical time bomb. Some people have had good luck with shops-I just think the ah, how cute, factor of the doggy in the window should be stopped.
I shall climb down from my soap box now, thank you and good evening.
