However, I do not shop at stores that sell dogs. I will not encourage puppymills. Now I know better.
My sentiments exactly. Boycott all pet stores that sell puppies. Do not buy any food, toys, leashes or anything if the pet store sells puppies. Be very careful of backyard breeders and newspaper ads as well.

Here is Buffalo there is a place that advertises at least 6 or 7 different breeds for sale in a single issue. The ad reads like:

Lab pups, AKC, shots, MC/V, Dan's - XXX-XXXX

Notice there is no address, only a phone number.


It is all about supply and demand - if there is no demand there will be no supply.
