All dogs are worthy of love, no matter what they look like or how sick they are, this isn't about the dog it's about the breeder. We should never "rescue" a dog from a poor breeder, they will just continue to breed more dogs. You have no way of knowing whether this is a rehome or a breeder selling it. She has made it clear the dog will be sold "as is". Many breeders will take $500.00 for a dog, the price alone doesn't say much. The OP should know that when buying a dog like this, it could end up costing much more than the original purchase price. I always suggest going to reputable breeders or rescues, where you are somewhat protected. I've read many rehoming threads because the owner couldn't pay for the cost of surgeries for Liver Shunt or Luxating Patella, this is what's really sad. My answers have nothing to do with what the dog looks like. |
You have done it a couple times in this thread alone! Did you or did you not advise the OP to go to a reputable breeder or a rescue? In that sense..you are telling her to turn her back on this puppy just because you feel she was irresponsibly bred. Because in your beliefs...no responsible breeder would breed a parti.
Well, I hate to break the news to ya...but 100% of the yorkies in rescue were irresponsibly bred too, and cost about the same as this puppy! What makes them more disserving of a home with the OP? Their color?
