are you SERIOUS? how are you going to tell someone they should get a dog from a rescue or a shelter when you obviously bypassed those places and paid a pretty penny for your dog!
i'm sorry, but if you love a dog - you love it - "mutt" or not! should someone pay a zillion times the price for a "mutt"? probably not - but when you want to start preaching about all the poor animals in need of homes - stop and think about where YOU got YOUR animal. |
Well I did get my 3 from a rescue, rehome and a shelter. And the pretty penny has been the cost at the vets when you get a puppymill dog (my rescue was a puppymill mother).
But I think most people are trying to get people to stop spending money at the breeders that breed mix dogs. Because call them what you wish they are still mutts and everyday the shelters kill 1000s. You will love your shelter dog as much as if you spent big bucks.... I do.
The people that get from a good breeder are trying to keep the yorkie line pure. I was one of thoes people that said how can people spend money at a breeders when the shelters are so full? Well now I understand what the breeders are trying to do, keep their breed going strong and true.
