I read the site. They are a puppy mill broker, and nothing more. You can find plenty of other great dogs in Florida..Some of the nation's best! Don't waste you time on this broker. You sure don't want to help support those puppy farms.
Here, just enter your own zip code to find all of the wonderful dogs that NEED you in your area: http://search.petfinder.com/search/search.cgi?pet.Animal=Dog&pet.Breed=&pet.Age=&pet.Size=&pet.Sex=&location=Coral+Springs%2C+FL
Edit: That 'touching' story sounds just like the ones that the 'free puppy' scams are using. Its a bunch of Cr*p. Its just another creative way to exploit dogs.

Sounds like a mill or a broker to me. Stay clear. You can tell by the amount of different breeds offered. Generally respectable breeders only specialize in one, sometimes, two breeds. Look into rescue or find someone that is in good standing with their AKC Breed Club.
Go to AKC.org look up the breed you want than click on the breed club. They'll be able to send in the right direction of someone respectable.
Make sure to give rescue a shot first. I know some breeds are rare and maybe hard to find in rescue but you'll be surprised how many purebred pups you find. Pure puppies aren't as rare in rescue as some think.

NO! This is still a place where they get their pups from a puppy mill/broker. No place offers so many pups. No responsible breeder will sell their litters to a store either.
What they are selling is a line of bull.
Stay away from this place and find a real, responcible breeder where you can see both or at the very least the dam and pups and the living conditions of the owners.

Stay FAR away from this place! IF this isn't a pet store then it's a puppy mill! All you have to do is look at the breeds available to see that. If this is a pet store then all of those dogs come FROM puppy mills.
You want a breeder who breeds and shows one or two breeds max. Find someone local and stay far far away from anyone who makes a business on selling dogs. A good breeder loses money on every litter. Good breeding practices just do not bring in a profit.

I wouldn't buy a pup from a place that has so many breeds available. It sounds like a puppy mill outlet. A reputable breeder would never turn pups over for sale to a broker or pet store. Good luck.

This is a puppy broker.They sell puppies for mills. NO RESPONSIBLE or ETHICAL breeder EVER sells their puppies through a broker!!
"Looking" healthy means nothing..lots of things can be underlying..only a good vet exam can detect issues also many defects don't show up until at least 2 years of age.

this is a broker.. doesnt look like a reputable place to me..
the 2 week guarantee isnt much to offer, not really
the 2 year guarantee is kinda sketchy.. only says if your dog "falls victim" because of a heriditary problem they will replace the puppy.. in other words they will only replace a pup that died within the first 2 years of its life because of a heriditary problem. Sorry, if it has a heriditary problem and is still living, but needs expensive meds, your most likely SOL. Most heriditary issues also do not show up until the dog is over 2 years of age.
It mentions nothing about "congenital" illness. "Congenital" means "present at birth".. a congenital illness could be the result of genetics, poor health of the mother during pregnancy, poor prenatal care, poor nutrition during the pregnancy, injury or illness during the pregnancy, etc. So if your puppy has issues because mom wasnt taken care of properly, sorry, not a heriditary problem, they wont cover it.
I laugh at the 10 year gaurantee.. if your pup is lost or stolen they will give you $100 off your next purchase... its all about selling another puppy!!!

They have 65 breeds of dogs. I didn't look at the entire site. I don't know if it is a puppy mill, pet store, Puppy broker or what but it is not in any way shape or form a reputable place of business.

Puppy mill, puppy mill, puppy mill!!!! No reputable breeder would need to sell extra puppies to someone like that! They are even selling mutts like puggles and idiotic stuff like that making them look like they are a real breed! If you want a puppy, go to a real breeder. Make sure the parents are OFA'd, screened for genetic diseases and that they puppies are well socialized and not kennel raised.
