Yes, exactly. Now you're getting my point. Good breeders do not sell to pet shops, they just don't. People sell to pet shops to maximize investment over time. The breeder I'm trying to buy from wants 20 questions answered, pics of my yard, etc, before she'll let me have a pup. This kind of breeder does not sell a box of puppies to a store.
