40 Years of Helping Families Find the Puppy of Their Dreams!
There are only four (4) sources you can get a puppy:
-
Shelters/Rescues
-
Show Breeders
-
Casual/ Backyard Breeders
-
Pet Stores partnering with Professional Breeders
All four have good points. We believe the public should have the right to choose. Even though we suggest and have a 10' banner in every location that says, "Have you visited your local animal shelter first?" we believe just as not every family wants a Show dog, not every family can rehabilitate a shelter dog, that's why more than 20% of dogs adopted from shelters are returned, 50% within the first 2 weeks. The other reality is that the statistics given about shelter dogs do not tell how many of the dogs are euthanized because of age, sickness, or vicious animals that would be public health hazards if returned to the community.
We believe there are not enough desired dogs in shelters and the statistics prove that shelters are much lower than they were 5 years ago (see these stats here). Pet store puppies are not the problem in local shelters. There are 83 million dogs in the US, with nearly 50% of households owning a dog. Pet Industry Market Size & Ownership Statistics
Pet stores only account for 4% (500,000) of the dogs sold in the U.S. If we are only selling 4% and the other 3 sources are providing the other 96%, how can the animal rights groups say that pet store puppies are the problem? All our puppies are microchipped and can be traced back to our store!
