Reputable breeders do their best to improve their lines everyday and that means genetic testing to produce the best chance at having a sound healthy puppy.
Another reason is when you buy from a pet store or even from someone who bought from a pet-store or BYB you are only continuing to support suffering, simple. Did you ever see how the parents are treated?
No light, no human contact less food and crammed into a cage that they can't even stand up in.
Thats just my look on this for me, I would never buy a puppy where I didn't know the lines and have a guarantee of overall good health.
Just my opinion. |
Alot of good pets are passed up by people with such standards. My Yorkie is a rescue/Breeder Release. I got no guarantee of health and she was already 4 years old when I adopted her. She is beautiful I get compliments on her all the time, and she is coming around mentally too. She is proving to be a great pet for hubby and I. I'm sure her parents lived in the same crappy conditions she did before I got her from the no kill rescue. The lives of these Yorkies, etc depend on people who don't care if they have the "perfect" dog with papers a mile long. While I am pretty picky about what animals I adopt into my home I am not a purebred snob. I believe in my heart that my little rescue is just as good and worthy of love and spoiling as any high dollar perfect purebred with papers. But then I am her mom.
