I bought a chihuahua in October 2009 for my daughters 15th Birthday. This little female was unusually small. I opted to take the puppy to Hunter's Vet clinic free of charge as per the store policy. The vet noticed the tail on the puppy was bent and recommended we not breed the dog. We were heart broken at the thought of returning her. I returned to the store thinking we would return the puppy. The new owners immediately offered to refund my money due to the defective tail. Instead we opted to keep the puppy and the owners gave us a partial refund. We decided to have her fixed and not breed her as recommended by Hunter's. We were very happy to have little Pinky as part of our family. She remained very small just 3.5 pounds 18 months later. We continue to buy all of our food from the store and visit Dr. Leise when it's time for shots. We were concerned about her size and Dr. Leise recommended we have her blood work done to be sure she was healthy. We did the blood work at another vet clinic and Pinky was pronounced healthy. She is tiny but mighty and strong. Like humans not all dogs are perfect all the time. People will claim the dog's tail is defective because the store buys from a puppy mill. Our family has purchased 3 other dogs from the store in the last several years and all of the dogs are healthy. The store could refuse dogs with slight imperfections instead they discounted the dog so it too could have a good home. We Championed the underdogs at the Superbowl and we will take the runt of the litter. The store was not only concerned about money. They wanted us to feel good about doing business with them. They take many precautions to make sure their dogs are healthy and provide you with a free check up at Hunter's if you choose to use this service. I'd say that is going the extra mile in caring about people and animals.
Pros: Clean and friendly place to do business.
