Ok you guys, just for the initiated or lurkers on the List I will ask the obvious:
Is transportation several times over in such a young life for the betterment of any kind of animal? What enquiries do the 'upmarket' pet shops make of prospective buyers? Do they make home checks? What standard of care is offered while in the pet shop? What is the true standard of care offered by people who buy pups in this way and what education do they receive on the finer points of the living breathing responsibility they are taking into their household? What about human company? Is there any or will the pup be left alone all day in distress? How will the family feel if their home and furniture are decimated by the puppy? Will it be passed on, and on, and on? What recourse does one of these buyers have if the pup develops expensive health problems later in life? By this I mean hip displasia, patella luxosis, mvd, or eye defects to name but a few possibilities? If anyone is likely to be influenced by all this take some advice DON'T GET A PUPPY THIS WAY - just don't do it. Wait and find a reputable breeder who will give you the facts and be on hand throughout the likely life of your forever dog to give you help, encouragement and sound advice. Soapbox just collapsed from my weight so unable to speak more volumes.
