As a side note, please check out the Paws ‘R’ Us qualifications and references page. Remember, never assume a piece of paper means anything or anyone can be trusted. Plenty of pet store dogs come with ‘papers’. It doesn’t mean they are quality animals or come from quality facilities. Ultimately, research and due diligence is in the hands of the individual. It’s all about education.
