I refuse to take in pet shop pets because they usually come from the bad kind of breeders, the ones that overexhaust their pets and just throw them all together without paying any attention to inbreeding, background or even breeds. I don't know what that's like in other countries though, but I know here pet shop pets often aren't any good. They also throw in males and females in the same cage often because they aren't capeable of telling the difference themselves =C Which results in poor six-week old piggies becoming pregnant. I get all of mine from rescue centers, animal shelters or responsible breeders.
And yeees piggie army. Honestly it's the reason I joined xD First I was all 'nooo I shouldn't start on another site' and then I was all 'they have piggies I must have!'

This pet shop seems alright (of course looks can be deceiving) but they seem to know their stuff, they had two separate pens of young ones (males and females) and a pair of adults (from an owner that couldn't keep them anymore) in a separate pen to themselves :3 I couldn't tell you about colours or breeds though, because I've no clue about piggie coats ;A; I'm the same with my rats, I'm going to get them from breeders or members of the rat club I've joined, otherwise yeah you can end up with pregnant babies, and that's not fair on the doe or kits D:
And hahaha! I thought the PixelPigs might have tempted you over more than anything else :'D

Well, I am very glad you Joined YLO! I breed mine, once I have a purpose behind it, either for colors, or for conformation type. I am focused on Black and Chocolate Dalmatians, and Silver Solid American/American Satins currently, I was breeding Creams, and PEW's for awhile. Also doing the occasional tricolor, or dilute agouti.
I used to be the assistant manager at my local petshop, and I have extremely strict standards on how shops care for the animals they sell, including fish. I used to breed Fancy mice, Gerbils, Bettas, Cornsnakes, and Guppies. I no longer breed the gerbils, or cornsnakes actively. I do keep fancy mice, mostly for my snake. But I keep the fancy blue satins, and angoras for my own personal colony. I am trying to raise blue dumbo rats, mostly for the petshop. I have my pets, and I have the others. I don't keep bettas anymore either, they just take way too much effort, and they need constant tempoture, and in the wintertime here, is impossible to maintain. I do still raise fancy guppies, but I don't have several tanks of them anymore. Just one 10ga with selective breeding choice methods. haha Anyways I'm always willing to talk about that, so message me. Or better yet, start a thread in the Coffee shop!
I will start working on your customs, as soon as I finish paging all my pets, and TQ's. Which should be tomorrow, or the day after. =D

I avoid satin whenever possible, most breeders in my country try to keep it from their lines as well because they want to avoid Osteodystrophy. It's such a horrible disease D= I do think satin piggies are gorgeous though <3 I have a Chocolate Dalmation American! Also her sister who is Saffron Dalmation American. I also owned their mom (got all three of them together from a rescue center last August, her daughters were born in January) who was Chocolate Dalmation English Crested but she sadly passed away at the end of September. And yes, other chat thread sounds good xD I think I spotted it already, so I shall hop over there now And I look forward to seeing my pretty pixel piggies! =3

I've been breeding since....late 2007. But I have never seen that disease effect a satin pig here. I mean, I can understand how it could, and I know that its terrible. But, I only breed animals that are large, healthy, and show condition standard. Breeding satins with weak immune systems causes that disease. xD
Heading over there now!
