This ad has started on local tv. It doesn't state that it's a pet store, but just look at their website. Vile.

Oh my! That is disgusting!

Those are some darn expensive mutts. Their website isn't even cute, its more annoying if anything. They look everything but reputable.

Yep, that's exactly what it is.Did you see the pic of the tiny little 13 oz Malt baby? $4000
I could just cry.

This makes me sooooooooooooooooooooooo mad!!!!

I just wish there was more that could be done to stop them!!!!!

Did you happen to read the "Where Our Puppies Come From"? What pieces of SH*T. Wish I lived closer because I would picket this dump.

Just in time for Ho, Ho, Ho. Merry Christmas.

I sent them an email and we are sending them info on puppy mills.
It won't make any difference to them but it can't hurt.

Anyone in that area? Picket the store please.

i'm disgusted too.very sad

I PRESSED ON ALL THE LETTERS THEY HAVE ALMOST EVERY BREED.LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO FOUND OUT ABOUT THE STORE IN LA WE NEED FOR THEM TO TRACK DOWN THE MILLS WHERE THEY CAME FROM .ITS THEN NOT SUCH A PRETTY PICTURE.

I sware nothing amazes me anymore

I agree with everyone else. This is so disturbing and what's the most disturbing is there's probably nothing that can be done about it and there will be people who will look at that site and buy a pup! They should have to put a banner across the top of that site that says "Broker for Puppy Mills". It makes me sick.

Just in time for the holidays, uggggg. I emailed them and gave them info how to take care of a very small pup. I hate to see pups become ill just because people don't know how to care for them.

I too am not happy about this place, I just wonder though how well they are going to do considering the present economic situation, what is going to become of all the puppies if they don't manage to sell them, that is what really worries me

I truly hope that tiny maltese doesn't get purchased by a family.... she is way too fragile.. this
is really hateful!

If they have a $4000 maltese puppy...I'd like to know where she came from! Must be some kind of super dooper champion line that I've never heard of - because I don't know many reputable breeders selling pups for $4000!!!! ....and she is not even standard size. Did you see how very very tiny? Oh dear - this just makes me so sad.

Oh, I "love" the way they say they searched for the finest breeders in the land. What a bunch of bull. The finest breeders in the land wouldn't sell to such a place as this.

And when they say "showroom".... hmmmm, that's for cars... not puppies.

Disgusting.

Our battle against puppy mills and places like this just seems to go on and on doesn't it? For every small victory, it seems another place like this pops up with better marketing to con uneducated people. We need to get some celebrities who are willing to be educated to take this up as a cause. Seems like whenever Hollywood gets behind something, people listen.

That's what really got me, too, Sher. And they even had the gall to mention that they are from "private professional USDA breeders and 'facilities'". This is a whole new level of disgusting, imo.

This just makes me sick. The other day on my way to work "Petland " was advertising "Designer Dogs" makes me so mad.

so sad

terrible! false advertising for sure!

this just makes me so mad - if only all dog lovers heard and learnt more about puppy-mills and such, I bet that they wouldn't consider buying from such a place...then that business and any other similar ones will go down

I couldn't agree more! I closed the window right after reading the "showroom" sentence. How can anyone buy from people who think of dogs the sameway they think of furniture/cars/appliances? The picket idea is great. I've heard about a few Petlands being closed b/c people wouldn't shop there after a protest was held, yippeee!!!!!! Someone who lives in that area should definatley look into it. It's an uphill battle but I think we are making some progress. We just have to keep telling everyone about petstores and puppymills.

Linda ~ I'm just now seeing this thread.

I haven't pulled up their site yet, but must say, that is the longest, dumbest ad I've seen.

"To come share a cup of tea, with me. La La La"

Why not say, come share a box of chocolates.

Stupid, lieing Jerks. I'm off to see the website now.

I sent them an email asking why they would buy from USDA breeders and this is the response I got:



USDA rules do say the dogs cannot be kept in a residence, right? So they are buying from USDA breeders that they know break the rules? I did send them an email asking about the USDA rules and show breeders.

They buy from puppy-mills plain and simple, however I do believe him that he may have a pup from a so called reputable breeder or two

EEE Gad! Don't get me started!

Terrible............but they certainly know how to make the site appeal to the eye....................prices are outrageous. Very sad............puppymills need to GO!!!!! And so do the petstores that get their dogs from them.
