fln mat of EXOTIC PETS such as Han dit the talking Mctaw are becoming harder to find because of strict import laws but Bill Wade owner of The Pet entrc at the Hay field Mall says smaller dogs like the Pekingese and dachshund are still in dc mantl Mr Wade says pets can be inexpensive or costly depending on what the owner is prepared to spend tEx amiiicr lhotoi How about doggy umbrella for your little darling By Sheila McGovern Examiner Staff Reporter It could be mangcy mutt doused in flea powder or purebred Pekingese wearing the latest of his or her dog perr fume Whatever the ase Animals are every bit as important to people as their children are says Bill Wade owner of The Pet entre at the Hayfield Mail In his past seven years as pet store owner Mr Wade has learned great deal about peo ple and their pets and says two assumptions are true People do buy pets that re flect their personalities and some people spend extremely large amounts of money keep ing the critters happy It is not unusual he said for customer to come in and in one shot pay $12 for haircut $15 for collar and lead and $22 forabed There are are also ridiculous items such as his and her col ogne dog trotihles kit for it female in heat and specially designed dog umbrellas Mr Wade doesnt stock many of these Theyre for the person who wants to throw money away he explained The owner also obseriui that the individual who comes lll throwing away large amounts of money continually on pet is only trying to impress himself and his enthusiasm generally fizzles out attii short while However an elderly persoi who spends great deal ot money on collar for dog is usually doing it otit of love he said People spend according to their budgets and that person can afford nice collar Owning pet is like having hobby he said and people do have to spend money keeping it up HEALTH ARE But the amount of money depends on the income and Mr Wade said growitig faintly with pet really only has one other expense other than food ensuring the pet has received its shots Ensuring the animal has had proper health care is just as important with animals as it is With children he said The bulk of Mr Wades business still lies within the traditional pets puppies kit tens and btidgies but there is also large increase in the number of people turning to aquariums as hobby Again the cost of kecpuig an aquarium depends on the amount of money person is willing to spend basic aquarium can cost as little as $8 ht while cotiipletc outfit can llltl as high as sittio liopical fish can be boutht for as little as tit cents or

buying poodles and schnauzers he said because these animals do not affect children with all lergies The pet business had never slowed down the owner said He sells about 125 purebred dogs per year all with five year health certificates His prices range frotn $89 for an unregistered poodle to $300 for registered English sheep log Mr Wade does fair trade iii kittens btit explains this is done as public service rather than money making venture People bring in their kittens he looks them over and then charges the person $2 to ensure they really are trying to find good home for the animals not just dtiiiip the kittens llc sells an ordinary kitten for $5 and this barely covers the cost of food and staff re quired for upkeep while they are iii the shop Exotic and imported pets are definitely on the wane mainly because the federal govern nients stricter importation and quarantine regulations lr Wade said he is depen ding more and more on locally bred pets Foreign pets are harder to come by and after flit days in quarantine tend to arr ll at thcshop in ill health While there is no longer sales tax on pets the costs have iti crcased about per cent in the last tiycyears Hut Mr Wade noted
