I made a mistake of getting a puppy from a pet store....Had i know then what i know now...i would never, ever have bought from them. But then, had i not, I wouldn't be mommy to my beautiful Yellow Labrador Retreiver. My vet says that he is a GENETIC MESS. He has elbow dysplasia, hip dyaplasia, enamel dysplasia, an impacted canine tooth...and God only knows what is yet to show up. I vow to try to do something about unethical breeders and put an end to "puppy mill", and backyard breeders for profit. How can you people sleep at night?
