I was in a pet store with my daughter, looking at dogs...and they were trying to tell us that their dogs were not  bread by puppy mills, what a load of crap......any reputable breeder would not sell dogs like that, most of them want dna before you get one of their dogs..

Hi Konnie,

You're right, those dogs were from puppy mills.  There are so many people who don't know that's where they come from.  These pet store owners who sells dogs from puppy mills depend on the consumer to feel sorry for the puppy and play on your emotions.  You feel sorry for the puppy so you buy one, opening yet another door for another dog to be sold.

Thank you Toula!! 

 I think it's a HUGE step in ending the puppy mills.  Hopefully people will realize that they can find a pure bred dog at a shelter and save a life.
