I really just don't think it's any or your business what breeds of dogs people buy as long as they treat them well. |
True, I did point it out. But I insinuated that the prices were insane not the girl. And no it isn't my business what anyone pays, but this is a FORUM and bringing up topics and discussing them is the Forum's function. I wasn't as mad about anyone paying the money as I was the breeders charging the money.
And yes people do pay thousands for pure breeds. That is because they are paying probably for breeding and showing purposes. Most papered/purebreds are champions for that kind of money.
I am sorry that you have missed my point. You are entitled to say what you want as am I. But the whole point of the post was that breeders were cashing in on these mixed breeds because it has become trendy. I didn't say they weren't being treated and/or loved any more or less.
Since I started this post, I am now finishing it.
