From what I was told, they have a list of breeders all over Alberta that they get puppies from. No single breeder, obviously, provides puppies to them on a year round basis.

I just wanted to point out that some of the stores are independently owned and operated. Stories like the MSNBC link above may or may not apply to them. It is, of course, entirely possible that the independent stores could be worse than the corporate stores.
