Lute, Please Please Please consider asking your boss to *stop* selling puppies. Please? Just one of the reasons for this is the story you stated above. Quite frankly, your store and many others are havens for puppy millers and BYBs. As shown with the Boxer, anybody can come in, take a poorly bred dog, and try to breed him/her with little to no knowledge. Hence, creating more puppies in a world where there are not enough homes. I know you love your animals alot. Please find it in your heart to confront your boss on *why* you need to sell puppies. Pet FEED stores are becoming very very popular now. Also, many people are converting to the higher end brands of food. Perhaps you guys can switch to selling Blue Buffalo and not Boxers?
