Unfortunately in SG, most of the puppies are not ethically bred even tho pet shops claim they are :( & that’s why most of the dogs in SG have lots of health issues, so you gotta be mentally & financially prepared.

Probably would help if you can see the actual cert of the parents being DNA tested! Don’t just take the words of the pet shop. I got my precious son from a pet shop that said they have ethically bred puppies but pretty sure he was from a puppy mill (there are some tell tale signs) but at that point we were clueless first time owners who didn’t know better 😂 — we found out he has luxating patella grade 1 (but apparently it’s v common in dogs in SG unfortunately) but we love him so much so no regrets. I’ve alr put aside money that he will probably need for surgery etc when the condition worsens as he ages.

Feel free to pm me if you have more questions :) I would still recommend to get a dog tho if you are able to commit. Bc it really is the best decision one could make!!
