I had a yellow lab til he had to be put down of cancer and Im going to get a new doggy soon. Ive found that the breeders charge a lot, but like you, I dont trust some of those pet stores. I think the best option is to go to animal rescue groups (not sure if you hvae em in Canada)...what they do is pull them from the shelter right before theri time is up and they are scheduled to be euthanized, and then they give them their shots, get them microchipped and place them in a canine foster home. They show them at adoption fairs, and then people get to bring em home. If it wasnt for these rescue groups, a lot of these doggies would get put down for no reason! I foster doggies sometimes and its rewarding. It's very common here in California, but Im not sure if you have them there. Look for the animal rescue groups.
