I think saying in your article that "good poodle breeders do not sell to pet stores" is a bunch of crap. As the owner of a pet store of 16 years, it is still hard to believe that everyone out there (eg. dog breeders, AKC, veterinarians, rescue shelters, humane societies, etc slam the pet store business for selling puppies. We sell puppies for the same intent reason as everyone else. Yes, to make some profit, but mostly to provide people with a loving pet. Shelters and humane societies have no information on the animal or parents. Most breeders charge hundreds and thousands for dogs just because they have a "history". If you think about it, there really is no need to charge an exhorbanant fee just for that. Our pet store takes in puppies from only local customers to help them find good homes. Our puppies are sold with limited health guarantees, vet check, shots, worming, grooming, owner information and information on the parents as well. Most shelters and "reputable breeders" do not provide health guarantees. 10 years ago I purchase a Corgi from a "reputable breeder" across the country for a large sum of money; she came with AKC registration and many papers guaranteeing health, champion blood lines, etc. Yet, I had health problems and huge amounts of vet bills; she finally died of cancer at 5 years of age. I did everything AKC recommended for my breed and took her to the vet for every check up. The personal I bought her from never paid me a cent for those costs even though I was provided a paper stating she came from good lines and should not have problems. When I tried to call the previous owner after the first few months of problems to ask if the parents had any, she refused to return my call. Therefore, I paid a lot of money for a dog that was not healthy. I brought home a terrier puppy from my pet store 5 years ago and have never had any health problems and she is very intelligent. Just because you pay a lot of money for a dog, doesn't EVER mean you are getting a better or healthier puppy. People need to start reporting the FACTS about pet stores and local breeders. Not all are bad or out for just money. If money is not the issue, then why are all "registered" dogs sold for up to 8 times more than just a "pure breed" for some extra papers stating bloodlines? |
