Do not get your pup from the puppy patch. Recently purchased a puppy whom came with Girdia, heart murmur and the doggy flu. It has been very difficult with a sick puppy and though when purchasing the puppy the puppy patch in hopkington was very pleasant they have not been as pleasant at this point. not returning phone calls and accusing me of giving the dog these illnesses. Though tufts and the natick animal clinic both agree that it came from there and many dogs have come from there like this. The lesson learned... always go through a breeder and not through a puppy mill!! For more information you can also read an article that I wish I had seen before going there by Andrew J. Manuse from the Metro West Daily.
Cons: almost fell on ice in parking lot, animals come sick... is it worth it?
