I would bet that most puppies in Petland get more human interaction than most of the kijiji ad puppies. And again I will ask the question, if it's pet store puppies causing all the shelter problems why are almost all shelter dogs medium to large in size while pet stores sell almost exclussively small dogs?

Which creates a dog that invariably ends up in a shelter, or PTS.
Early interaction is critical in canine development, and this isn't acheived in most pet store environments.
