no Biscuit, I got him from a Mexican rescue place that rescues abandoned dogs from the puppy mills (where they mass produce puppies so he was 5 mos old and already had a name!) I actually wasn't going to get a dog because I had just got my condo a few weeks before (Feb) and he was being taken to the dog shelter here in San Diego and I fell for him and the rest is history, he's all fabulous in Burberry as we speak
