Pet Shop Puppies
Is it okay to
buy a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel at a pet store?
"Where should I go to find a Cavalier puppy?"
"Is it okay to buy a Cavalier from a pet shop?"
We get a lot of
questions about where to find healthy, happy
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies. Our answer is
always to buy a puppy from a reputable Cavalier
breeder, rather than from a pet shop.
A
responsible breeder puts a great deal of time and effort
into breeding dogs that will be healthy and have a
good disposition, while pet shops all too often get
their puppies from puppy mills that are only interested
in breeding and selling as many dogs as possible.
It's
nearly impossible not to fall
in love with a Cavalier puppy. They
are all so adorable and cuddly! But to take a loveable
little puppy home with you - only to find out that the
puppy has a serious health problem that may
require expensive veterinarian care - is truly
heartbreaking!
While
we always recommend that you take your new puppy to a Vet asap,
you don't expect to find serious health conditions in
a puppy bred by a quality dog breeder. However, you
can't fully investigate the breeding standards
behind the cute little Cavalier in the pet shop window.
One
of our website visitors recently sent us her sad story about buying a
pet shop puppy. We've posted Lisa's email on our
website to warn everyone who is considering buying a
Cavalier from a pet shop.
Grab a hankie! You wouldn't wish this kind of trouble on any dog lover!
