| Sorry, I can't offer any help. But I always wondered where pet stores get their pets from. Do they contract with reputable breeders and offer health guarantees? Is it dangerous to buy a puppy from a pet store? (I know it can be for the puppy, but I mean for the buyer) Where did she get the puppy? |

I'm sure it's not 100% cut and dry (maybe it is though) that ALL pet stores are bad places inherently to buy puppies and that they ALL buy from bad breeders...BUT, yes, it's typically bad to buy a puppy from a pet store. Barney came from a pet store and his papers say he's from a place in Missouri, which basically means a puppy mill. |
| Maybe you could get her to contact NEOES rescue. They are in Mass, and I'm sure they could help her find him a home. Breaks your heart so see them in a petstore, doesn't it? |
| Reputable breeders do not sell to pet stores, this pup came from some breeder in the Syracuse,NY area. He looked healthy, his nose was small for an oes, and it was kind of long and pointy, his legs seemed long. My 3 seemed more compact at that age. |
| NEOSR was the first thing I thought of, but the store is selling him for $800.00. The lady at the store said she was going to try to explain to potential customers, the care and grooming he needs, but all people see is a cute puppy for now. She said she hopes he does not end up in rescue, I said it would be the best thing that could happen to him!!! |

That's what happened to Barney. His original owner saw him in the pet store and he was SO cute and she even said that she had a sheepdog as a child (so you'd think she'd know he gets big) and then when he got big (at only 5 months!) she didn't want him anymore  Her loss! |
| I think when I go back up, I will give her my name and number, and if someone buys him she can pass it along with the pup. If they shoud have any trouble or think an oes is not for them. |
| Where are you in NY state. I live in NYS and would try and get the pup? |
| Yikes. I'm sickened to think where he came from if they're only charging$800 for him at a pet store. Usually they're double that. |
