Do they do it to re-sell them? Or b/c they want/NEED one?

I was walking Percy earlier this week, and for the umpteenth time someone stopped me and was gushing on and on about him and how much they wanted/NEEDED one. When I asked if they knew anything about the breed, they didn't. Amazing. How do you get/want a dog and know nothing at all about them? It always reminds me of when I had my first dog, a little dachshund. Everyone always went on and on about how cute he was and how they would love to have one. Well, those are not easy dogs to care for, or train. Almost impossible to house break, very temperamental. Yet people see how cute they are and want one.
