Buying a dog from a market is bad idea; if only for the simple reason you're supporting the horrible puppy mill operations that produce these poor dogs. If you want a pure bred dog, go find yourself a decent breeder.

Better Yet,

find a rescue centre.

You help save the dog you pick.

You help diminish the puppy mill trade, which, believe me, is a horrid business in any country.

Puppy farm issue. Also same sort of issues as backyard breeders. Viruses hanging about killing off the puppies due to sellers lying about them being vaccinated/wormed. Not getting the dog you think. One of my cousins thought he bought a Labrador, the dog never grew more than a foot high. Selling puppies too young so therefore the puppy not getting its first lessons of bite inhibition from its mother. A lot of inbreeding. Other obvious issues like hips, elbows, genetic heart diseases, puppy mange etc. All sorts of breeds mixed so temperament of dog is any ones guess. 

 

I was at a night market once looking for a leash. The owner asked to see a photo of our dog and asked to pay us to breed with it. She didn't even have a male of the same breed so clearly was just going for looks/size factor.
