Comment to Your a dog breeder!!!

Thats just it, peoplethe puppies from the pet stores or back yard breeders and say they rescued it, who knows why. And 90% of the dogs from pet stores that I see have major medical issues (big enough to be deal breakers for me), puppies from breeders have issues as well but the percentages are not nearly that high, or usually as serious. I'd put money on those odds too (more of a sure thing then Big Brown.) And a responsible breeder should be there to answer those small questions, a pet store will not. Sure there are plenty of great dogs that came from pet stores, just like I have had some FANTASTIC dogs from the pound. But IMHO those are the exceptions. And I would be a happier person if my beloved pound puppy hadn't been in the hell-hole of a pound for two weeks before I got him. I would choose a home raised puppy or fostered dog over one that has been in a pet store cage or pound kennel any day, and I think in the long run it's better for the dog and for me.
