Ohhh yeah don't even get me started on pet store puppies. When I was looking at shelties before I got Bishop I was wandering around a Petland (I wasn't considering buying a dog from there, just FYI) and saw a dog labelled as a sheltie. It DID have the face of one, but it was solid sable, with no white. I asked to hold him and asked about his markings. They opened his folder and he was actually a 3/4 sheltie, 1/4 Pomeranian. I asked about his health history and that of his parents and they said that is classified information. I asked if it gets released upon purchase of the puppy and they said no.
This mix bred dog was $1900. More than Bishop who is from health tested parents.
Plus, what is the POINT of a sheltie x pom? They are completely different breeds!
I think it's disgusting to not release health info. What if the mother and father both had elbow or hip problems, shouldn't the buyer be told and able to make their decision from there? It's not a toy, it's a living, breathing animal!
