I completely agree with you! I could never understand how someone could buy a dog, then once the "puppy cuteness" wears off, they get tired of it and don't want to be bothered. Next, you see the dog tied up outside half the time, no matter what the weather. The only thing you ever hear their owner say is "go lay down". Why do these people even have a dog???
The way I feel about my dog is like my child. There's never any guarantee that says you're going to have a healthy baby, no matter how careful you are. Or, your child might have health problems down the road. As a parent who loves their children, you will always find a way to take care of your child, no matter how much it costs. That's how I see my little Jake. If he would get hurt or sick, I would find a way to pay to get him the help he needed, just like I would for my own child. It shouldn't matter how much money you have, it's the fact that you KNOW you will do whatever it takes to save the dog you're buying.
Do people have babies and get tired of their "baby cuteness" and get rid of them or have them put to sleep? No, of course not (unless they are psycho, and I don't even want to think about that). But, it does happen with dogs, and I hate that!
I do have one question though. Why are females more expensive if the breeder specifies that she is not to be bred? I could see if the puppy came with unlimited registration, but if she comes with limited, then why is she more expensive? I'm sure there is a reason that I just don't know about, but I would love for someone to explain it to me. Thanks in advance.
