Aki, My Service Dog
He is missed!
I'm sad that my ex supported this pet shop by buying not one, but 3 dogs, one for his parents and one for his sister. The other two did not live to the 13 years Aki did, but his brother was overfed. We follow our vet's recommendations and make sure we see an hourglass when we look down on our furbabies.
ASPCA.org is a very good source of reliable info. So many pet sites are not. If you are dying to get a thoroughbred dog, here's some tips: If you want a healthy dog, get a mutt.
You can go to AKC.org and read through the breeds, and nearly all of them have some sort of genetic defect. Some can be expensive. A reliable breeder will be AKC registered, not some other registry. They will be concerned about parentage and how healthy previous litters, and the parents' litters were. That's what you should be paying for. Good lineage. Backyard breeders don't care what they're breeding to what. You are better off going to a shelter or rescue site and adopt a rescue. No, you don't know lineage, but you can get the pet with the look you want, and feel good about getting a pet that would have been put down. About a quarter of rescues are thoroughbreds, just without the papers. Aki, even though he had AKC papers, was a rescue. He was terribly overpriced, and my ex was ripped off.
He was a puppy mill dog. There was no question that we wanted to keep him, even though the papers gave us a year to return him. We loved him, and he gave us love all his life long. Pet shops know very few people will return a dog once he leaves the store, so they keep making money that way. Backyard breeders offer comparatively cheap dogs and cats of a certain breed. They just buy two, probably from a pet shop, and breed them. They are out to make money. Breeders who register with AKC are usually in it for the good of that breed, going to dog shows and learning all they can about genetics. If a litter has a bad result, they don't breed that animal again. They are careful to let Mom rest well between litters and don't breed her every time she comes into heat. Good veterinary care is vital, as most thoroughbreds need help during delivery, though not all. It's an expensive hobby. Even with what they charge for pups, even 'pet quality' pups that can't be shown, they rarely make a profit. We got one of the few AKC breeders just in it for money. She probably only got $10-20 for each pup. She probably had a farm with lots of Moms only handled to get shots. Most of the pups probably died on the torturous truck ride from MO to GA, as do most pet shop animals. Truck drivers may or may not check on the animals they carry, on this days-long journey. The truck might not be air-conditioned. It is my hope you will adopt from a shelter or rescue. Or, from a reputable AKC breeder who loves and cares for the Moms who have the puppies. Most, the vast majority, do.

I love it when my little angle-face Roxie has an entire 2/3 of the couch to sit on, and yet she'll hop up, situate herself so that every square inch of her side is suction-cupped to my side, and then let out the cutest little sigh 🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰
