Does anyone know of a wholesaler or store where I might find a nice
selection of sharks for purchase in good health and still smaller in
size?

No, I doubt you can find one.
Probably for the same reason there is nobody selling
"nice selection" of baby whales for home aquariums :-)

I'm in the process of buying a house with a large detached
garage and was seriously thinking about building a several thousand
gallon shark tank. I'm more interested in active sharks rather than
the cats and horn sharks etc...I was thinking more along the lines of
dogfish, leopards etc. but not anything like a reef shark which would
die in a few years in all but a very large swimming pool size tank/
public aquarium.

Jeff, maybe you should go for couple of tiger sharks instead?
Why not?

Do you really think a several thousand gallon tank will be
a good habitat for a large and active fish like a shark?
Stop kidding yourself.

If you want to see sharks watch them in nature - cheaper and helthier.
Shark in aquarium will NEVER expose natural behaviour, so
what is the point of observing them? Its like a polar bear in a cage.
Rather stupid idea.
