Now I find out that because I adopted him from a rescue and didn't pay $3000+ for him he is considered a lesser dog. I don't care if his head isn't the perfect shape, or his legs aren't long or short enough, or his coat isn't as silky. What matters to me is that he's a sweet, happy loving dog who is content to sit on my lap all day, and makes my day that much brighter. If my dog isn't good enough for you, then I am probably not either. After all, I'm not a perfect size 2, my hair has split ends, my neck is too long and I've got a few scars and imperfections. If I were a yorkie, I guarantee that I wouldn't go for thousands of dollars. Sure I'm smart and nice, generous, funny and loyal, but I'm just a lesser human. Too bad. We could've been friends.

I think you must have misinterpreted this thread- nobody feels that way here. There are lots of members with rescues. Maybe if you re-read it will put your mind at ease. Welcome to YT.
