Let me add to the comments to never buy dogs from pet shops that you should also be very careful who you buy a puppy from, especially online, since puppy millers are finding new ways to sell their puppies. Very few pet shops nowadays sell puppies. However, puppy mills and commercial breeding operations are still in existance, and many have gone online. Some on these puppy broker sites claim their dogs are from champion bloodlines (in fake kennel clubs set up by puppy millers that award mail-order championships) and represent themselves as legitimate breeders. When you purchase a puppy, make sure to check out the breeder thoroughly. Visit their kennel, see their dogs. Make sure they have done all recommended health checks. Breeds prone to hip dysplasia or eye problems can be certified by vets, and many breeds are also conducting specific genetic tests to eliminate diseases. Make sure to get the AKC paperwork. Don't assume what you read online is true. Do research and make sure the breeder is legit. The majority of AKC recognized breeders who are committed to their breeds actually sell their puppies for less than pet stores or online puppy brokers do. They may have high standards for puppy buyers and long wait lists, but if you want a purebred puppy that badly, then buy one the right way and stop supporting mass breeding of puppies by commercial breeders.If you aren't willing to do that, please go to a local shelter and adopt a pet. If you want a specific breed, there are many great breed rescue organizations you can contact.

Agree 100%. I have 2 rescued dogs and they are great dogs! My mom just rescued a dog that was near dying and he is amazing! All breeders should go to jail, ALL.

""That would be an 'a' misdemeanor, which would be 11 months, 29 days in the county jail—or up to that amount," said Helper. "--> That's not enough! I say fine him a hefty amount and let them rot in jail..

You are so right wyther wyskers. That's why I can't watch Animal cops. It disgust me to see someone deliberately abuse or neglect their animal to the point of death sometimes and get off with nothing more then a $200 fine. There needs to be a system installed that works on the basis of do onto others and you will have it done onto you back. Might just change the minds of some of these ignorant pet owners out there in the world.There a story I just read on Petlovers forum and it's a warning to everyone who offers pet adoption or there pets for free on Craigslist because the poor pets are ending up as chew toys & instigators for vicous fighting dog circles. There are a lot of crazzies out there.

Despite the words “humane society” on its letterhead, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not affiliated with your local animal shelter. Despite the omnipresent dogs and cats in its fundraising materials, it’s not an organization that runs spay/neuter programs or takes in stray, neglected, and abused pets. And despite the common image of animal protection agencies as cash-strapped organizations dedicated to animal welfare, HSUS has become the wealthiest animal rights organization on earth. HSUS is big, rich, and powerful, a “humane society” in name only. And while most local animal shelters are under-funded and unsung, HSUS has accumulated $113 million in assets and built a recognizable brand by capitalizing on the confusion its very name provokes. This misdirection results in an irony of which most animal lovers are unaware: HSUS raises enough money to finance animal shelters in every single state, with money to spare, yet it doesn’t operate a single one anywhere.
