I wanted to post a second time just to inform others of my recent dog search at Jacks. I went in person as I am now looking to purchase another dog since we had to put my 14 year old lab Dixie down one month ago. I bought a collie from Jacks 15 years ago and he lived to 12 very healthy dog. I decided to go back and look around as it has been 15 years and wanted to really research Jacks as I have heard many consider it to be a puppy mill. I went to look at the yellow lab pups and the owner was not very friendly. My girlfriend and I took my daughters 10 and 12 to look at these pups. I asked which ones were females in the litter as we really want a female dog and the owner said I don't know look for yourself!! I was cought of guard by this responce but my girlfriend and I started looking uder each pup to see which ones were the girls. He came back a few minutes later and opened the cage and quickly picked up one pup by the scruf of its next and practically tossed it over to my 10 year old saying want to hold it?? He never waited for her responce just tossed it to her. I quickly helped her hold the pup as I was afraid it would fall. He reached in a grabbed another pup by the scuff of its neck and handled it to my other daughter 12. Then walked away talking to another customer. The pup I took from my 10 year old was scared and shaking so I held her but we looked at the price of $495 and I realized that if I was spending this on a dog then I want to know about its parents and past history. You can go under puppyfindcom and find all pups from local breeders that have the pups and their parents at their homes why pay this guy that treats his dogs only like merchandise $495??? Really I want not impressed with the owner and how he treated his dogs. I bought from Jacks 15 years ago and never did much research on my collie and got lucky he was a nice dog but I will not give this man my money after seeing the way he acted with the pups last week.
Pros: Has many dogs but no info on parents of the pups
Cons: Not friendly and treats dogs like merchandise!!
