We would never recommend anyone to get a pet from the pet store. In this country, they may be treated well in the pet stores but their breeding parts are often not so good. It's a big business to these people. I doubt they care whether they are breeding puppies, or raising turkeys for food, as long as it makes them money... We encourage everyone to adopt from shelters. In fact, our college daughter just adopted a 4 year old dog herself. For ourselves, we do love the cardigan welsh corgi, and fortunately, the breed is not as popular as some (including the tail-less bu similr Pembroke "Queen's" Welsh Corgi) so all known breeders are small breeders who are breeding for show and pets. Obviously can't speak for all of them, but every cardi breeders we have met are very concerned about the breed itself.
