ajdelosr the reason most people tell you not to buy from a pet store isn't so much how the store treats the puppies,,but where the puppies come from. Most stores are supplied by puppymills. The animals are kept in cages and bred in some cases literally to death. Because of these situations there are genetic issues, tempermant issues,,etc. Please rescue an animal instead, there are thousands of cats and dogs looking for homes in animal shelters everywhere..
oh and welcome to the forum...just to give you an idea,,
