A day at the Pet store with a cute puppy.
While puppies from commercial breeding operations are sold to pet stores, their parents are often left behind. Those dogs usually live their adult lives in a cage. So what happens to dogs that can no longer produce puppies? What do commercial breeders do with those? Kim Townsend, a dog breeding industry researcher, says many of those dogs become the forgotten victims of the Puppy Pipeline. “A lot of them just stay in the same cage until they die,” Townsend said. “They just linger.” Uncle Bill’s gets most of its puppies from commercial dog breeders in Daviess County, Ind. That area is home to dozens of commercial breeders who supply thousands of puppies to central Indiana pet stores.

The truth about where your pet store puppy comes from. No matter what the store tells you, use your own common sense. If you were breeding dogs (responsibily) and getting vet checks on the mother and pups (expensive) and buying supplements to ensure healthy pups, as well as eliminating genetic defects, WHY would you sell your pups to a store for 200.00 (just a ball park figure) when they sell them for 1200.00! You could be getting back some of the cash you would be investing in good quality pups! WHY? Because the people who sell to pet stores don’t do any of the above things
