This is a wonderful place to pick up a healthy and clean pet. Not your kind of dog that is at the pound. I have personally visited some of the sources for these dogs. They are NOT coming from puppy mills. These dogs are living better than me. I really hate that there are so many people who automatically have that opinion of all pet stores. These dogs are loved and cared for there entire lives so far. Shame on you if you have not even visited the store and put negative comments here. On that note have a blessed day.
