Pet Stores Sales

We bought a puppy at a pet store. Did it come from you? I raise lots of Havanese and do want to know where each and every one of them will be living. So, NO, I do not sell to pet stores. They use the cheapest shippers and hope to bring the puppy back to health once it arrives…usually sick.
