I purchased a Scottish Terrier from this store a couple of years ago. At the time I purchased him I asked if they bought from puppy mills and I was told that they do not. That they purchase from reputable breeders. My scottie came from what is called a MEGA puppy mill. It has nearly 1000 dogs at it's location. I registered this dog and received pictures of what they said were his parents, however I find it hard to believe they even know who his parents are. I would not buy from them again! Instead I would either adopt from a breed rescue or do my homework with the AKC and find a reputable breeder in my area and go there to pick up the puppy and see the conditions in which they are kept!
