Looking into getting a puppy, Adoption vs. Pet Stores

[sneakerhead401]

So I'm looking into getting a puppy preferably a Bull Terrier or English Bull Dog, I've heard adoption is a cheaper option than pet stores & also that pet store dogs usually have problems because they come from puppy mills (this is word of mouth idk if its fact

) so my question NT is do any of you have any expriences dealing with adoption or pet stores? Should I look further into maybe a breeder?

i'd say adopt.. just because you can give one of the dog a second chance. if they're at the store, they'll get purchased eventually.

Adopt.. You'll feel better knowing you saved him.

look into respected breeders...

i say that because I dont know how easy you'll be able to find the breed you want in a shelter...

if breed doesn't matter i say adopt

Adoption or find a breeder. When getting a dog at a puppy mill, they are usually already sick in the head with bad habits instilled in em. Usually a barker and always needing attention.

Just imagine puppy mills mass produce hundreds if not thousands of puppies just like a processing plant. The don't care about the parents. They don't care about the living conditions. Their job is to produce puppies for dog stores.

If you're looking for a particular dog try adoption first. They usually list what kind of dogs they have online and should have photos. If you can't find that dog you want/like get it from a breeder.
