I purchased a Yorkie/Silky cross puppy from this establishment on December 19th. I should have known better than to walk into a Pet Store, but I "just wanted to look." I walked out with a dog an hour and a half later having fallen in love with this one little one. Big mistake!
After getting her home, she had abnormal stool for a while, so I got it tested at my vet. She tested positive for a bacterial and parasitic infection in her intestines - two prescriptions later and some lovely vet bills. The type of parasite (Giardia) is known to be commonly acquired by animals who drink tainted water in Alberta! I thought I was buying a local dog.
ALSO, I paid $1200 for this dog only to find out two days later that ALL her siblings were listed on Kijiji for over $200 less ($995). I guess we dressed too well when we went that day, and showed a little too much interest in our now puppy, because we did ask for a better price, but Alicia told us that due to their agreement with the pup's breeder, their prices held firm.
