As some of you may know, I dropped by a petstore the other day and managed to get a pic of one of the pups. I found the store's website and emailed them just out of curiosity. I thought it'd be interesting to share..so here it is.
"hi..i'm just wondering, how much do you charge for your pups? If you can't provide an exact price...maybe just an estimation? Also, where do you get your pups from? Are they from puppy mills or backyard breeders?
Thanks,
Ashley"

"Dear Ashley,
You have to go to the store and ask the price of a particular dog. Our dog are priced asccording to how much we paid for them.
Also, Our dogs are pricy because they have to see 3 vets ( the least )before reaching us. The breeder's vet, the U.S. customs vet, Canadian Agriculture Vets...this is before a dog is delivered to our store. After selling them, we have to pay for the first vet check up. There are so many rules and regualtions to follow. I hope you understand us.
As pet stores , we tried our best not to buy from puppy mills and backyard breeders because both type of dogs will bring us loads of problem. So, I believe most pet store won't be doing this unless they are just newly opened and have not experienced " problems '"yet. We had been in business for the last 25 years. So, we know it is not worth our while buying dogs from bad suppliers.
As a standard rule, we can only buy from breeders that know what they are doing. Our staff are allowed to buy our dogs "only" from people that agrees to raise their dogs base on the PIJAC rules. We prefer to buy from suppliers that we know for many years. You see, there is no advantage in buying from puppy mills or backyeard breeders even how cheap they drop their price.
Sincerely yours,

Some of that makes sense...but I still wouldn't believe a thing they tell me. If you saw the pic in my other thread...it shows what kind of cage the pups are in. "PIJAC" allows that???
