Old English Sheepdogs - Pet Store Puppies
Old English Sheepdogs sold in pet stores may look cute, but they do not always meet the breed standard. They may have unstable temperaments or some major or minor health problems. Pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills or dealers. Responsible breeders do not tend to sell pups to pet stores. As a rule, they do not have to search for buyers and advertise.
Pet stores make their profit, and do not care for proper socialization or medical maintenance. Remember that, if your Old English Sheepdog puppy ends up with a serious genetic problem, your pet store will not be of any assistance to you. You cannot count on the pet store to help you with housebreaking problems, upkeep or behavior problems.
With a pet store, you do not have a chance to see the puppy's parents, which means it is hard to evaluate how your pup will look like when an adult dog.
