thanks for the info.
this is sooo pathetic as I spoke to two people at my vets who had pups they
bought from Petland in Georgetown Tx over Christmas and bought them sick and on
antibiotics. they got worse and were at the vets taking nebulizer
treatments...3X/day! How sick must have the grade B puppies been???? How sad.

This is a copy of the article on the flea market sales:
The Hunte Corporation is currently the largest puppy broker in the U.S. It is
based in Goodman, Missouri. It buys puppies from puppy mills in several
Midwestern states and then sells them to pet stores all over the country,
including many Petlands. Breeders either drop the puppies off at the Hunte
building or a Hunte truck goes out to pick them up. The puppies are checked
over by Hunte employees. The breeders expect to receive a certain price from
Hunte depending on the breed of dog, but if Hunte decides the puppies are not
very healthy, they may offer the breeder less money. The breeders usually
accept the lower price, as they have no use for the puppies. Hunte's "Grade A"
puppies, the supposedly healthier ones, are sent to pet stores. The "Grade B"
puppies, the sicklier ones, are sold in other ways. We understand that some are
sold to people who sell dogs over the Internet or through newspaper ads. Others
were formerly sold at Missouri flea markets and in Canada, but
now they are apparently often ending up at the huge Canton Flea Market in
Texas, which sells dogs, cats and other animals by the hundreds. The Canton
Animal Shelter describes its situation as "urgent" (see
www.petfinder.org/shelters/TX256.html.) Puppies that are rejected by pet stores
and sent back to Hunte also fall into this "Grade B" category and are disposed
of in the same way.
