That is so sad; reminds me of SM in my breed.

As you say, no need. If only there were a way of letting people know where those pet stores get their puppies or to convince them they are not getting a great deal buying from a BYB or broker. My wife got so mad once when someone told her our pups were too expensive and she could get a puppy out of the nerwspaper for less than 1/2 of what we wanted, she told the women to buy 2 so she would haveone for parts!
