[QUOTE=Giselle]Buying a pet from a pet store is "saving" one life and condemning another litter to the same horrible conditions.

I don't approve of mills or pet stores either. But what about the BYB who slap 2 purebred dogs together for the sake of $$$ ? Is that so different if people buy from them? By buying these unproven pups, we are also condemning the bitches to another pregnancy......and condemning that pup to a shelter when it becomes clear the dog has issues.
