I should hope that people wouldnt jump into any situation that they could not handle and that they really think the situation through, not everyone does think this way and this is the reason that yorkies end up in rescues. It is not just from us people that can not afford a $1000 + puppy, owners die, pets get lost, there are a zillion things that happen and reasons that yorkies end up in homes other than they started out. I am not saying that this issue isnt a factor, but it certainly isnt as serious as some people make it out to be |
I don't think Amanda's post was intended at anyone personally. You both
raise very valid points in your opinions and it is clear that you definitely
DID think before you jumped into the responsibility involved. You are right not everyone does think that way but as a lot of the recent posts state
many do not think before they jump. They see the cute little puppy and they just have to have it and then a month down the road we are reading about
how they have to get rid of it because it doesn't fit into their life style. I look at affordibility less than I do commitment I guess. There was a time in my life
I pawned my class ring to feed my dog and my baby while there are many
people that can afford very nice life styles and neglect their pets. The problem is there are many breeders willing to sell to anyone and there are many buyers willing to buy the first puppy they see. Both should have equal responsibility where the welfare of the puppy comes first. I have just as much
respect for someone selling a puppy for 300 dollars as I do one selling one for $3,000 if in the end the pup is going to end up in the best possible home and
that has more to do with commitment than it does financial status.
