Just a little reminder that the majority of puppies that are sold in pet shops come from these dirty puppy mills , where the animals live in horrible conditions. There is a very good possibility that these pups are not healthy and will develop serious health and behavioral problems down the line. Meanwhile you are paying exboritant amounts money for them.
Please, please, consider adopting from your local animal shelter or rescue group, These animals are in desperate need of homes . Thousands of shelter dogs are put down each year because they cannot find loving homes. They make loving devoted pets that are eternally grateful to you.
Ill get down off my soapbox now, thanks for listening.

Wonderfully said Nonie....and so right!!
I have seen a few shows on Oprah about those horrible puppy mills. Next time around I will definitely adopt! Right now I have my two doggie limit for TV....but in the future...you and I can go out and pick out a new puppy in a shelter.
