This story, about a man mistreating 38 dogs in Colorado, will turn your stomach. I'm posting the link because the man was reportedly selling his dogs to people in the Bay Area as purebreds. I want to remind everyone that if you're going to buy a dog from a breeder, really look into the breeder's background. Visit the dogs, see the breeder's premises, and do your homework. And remember that if you're just looking for a dog to love you unconditionally, shelter dogs do the job just as well as purebreds.
Our shelter dog, Molly, doesn't need a pedigree to be cute.
I have loved dogs my entire life. I now own a black labrador/aussie mix and i am training a guide dog puppy who is a lab. I have worked in two vet clinics and i loved beeing able to help animals in need. I have also previously raised and trained a guide dog named Garth who I now miss very much. When I was younger my family owned a wonderful and energetic peach colored standar poodle named Sparky and two cats. One white siamese named angel and one brown grey tabby named lucifer (after the cat in cinderella). Because of my love of cats and dogs I decided to start a store for pets so I can continue to help and provide for them.
