I would never buy from a store in a thousand million years. Buying animals for profit on propagates the animal mill industry. I did buy my mother a dog from a respected breeder, but only because my mother wanted a particular breed of dog, and that breed was not found at the local SPCA. But for myself, my cats were strays and if I get a dog, it will be from the Humane Society. The Calgary Humane Society does have a bunch of labs and lab mixes if that interests you at all....
