Behind the Pet Store

For anyone who has ever thought or bought a puppy from a Pet Store please read this and post it for others to read!

Did you know that the majority of puppies in pet stores come from puppy mills? There are different kinds of puppy mills, the type that are seen on this video clip and the backyard breeders. The backyard breeders are those that continuously breed their bitches back to back without giving her a break. Most are not registered with any affiliation and they do not care about the health of the bitch or her puppies. Just because someone says they own a kennel doesn't mean it's a respectable and responsible kennel!

Don't be naive people! Canada has many puppy mills and the majority of pet stores have puppies from them. Even in this town. Have you ever asked to see the records from that "cute puppy in the window"? Have you ever thought to ask where it came from or who it's parents were or is it registered with an accredited affiliation. I bet you they can't tell you any of that! Buyer beware.

Please, I beg of you NOT to buy that cute little puppy in the window. Why do you want to support this devastating business. Just to satisfy your impulse and our "need to have now" mentality! Think about it!
