But: When I see the occasional post to this list asking someone to check out a Cav in a petshop - **What does checking it out actually mean???** ******************** Actually other than being nosey I am not sure what good it does to try and pretend to be interested in a puppy to ferret out information. Other than one isolated case that I heard of 15 years ago all puppies in pet stores have had nothing to do with being CKCSC, USA registered. It is not against any rule in any other registry to supply puppies into pet stores here in the US. My way of thinking to show ANY kind of interest towards a puppy in a pet store is defeating the purpose - the pet store owner/manager thinks they have a hot item. IF you do want to get information just to get the information - make sure you let the pet store people know in no uncertain terms why you are NOT buying a puppy from them when you leave - bogus registry, no clear testing, puppy mill parents - you name it. Speak clearly and loudly :o) And throw out the added bonus - that as long as they supply live animals in their store you will shop elsewhere and will tell all your friends at the dog club meeting (fabricate here :o) to do the same.
