I bought my daughter an AKC registered Chihuahua from a pet store in 1967. I do have a question. If people don't buy from pet stores, and there aren't enough "hobby" "fancier" breeders breeding enough litters to satisfy those who want pups, where does the public go to buy a purebred pup? Just asking?
