Heck, if I let all the dogs I listed on petfinder go to the first person interested who could afford the adoption fee, I can tell you I would have gotten back a lot more than one dog. Furthermore, you act like of the 10 dogs, nine would actually get good homes. You can't tell that. You need the qualifications to insure that the dogs are placed in good homes, homes that will provide more than minimal care to insure the dog survives. Homes that really will return the dog to you rather than dump it in a shelter or in the backyard. I don't just want to get a dog adopted, I want the dogs I have fostered and come to love in the best homes possible. Homes that will love the dog, feed the dog good food, and see to it the dog gets good veterinary care. Homes where the dog is an actual member of the family. To insure that, the person needs to have more than the adoption fee to adopt a dog from me, and that is something a reputable breeder considers too. They would never sell a dog to just anyone, which from what you said above, sounds like you'd advocate. |
i really dont care what u think
the approval of YT is not needed to make me feel good about my self.
i am an average hobby breeder in my opinion..i take great care of my dogs and puppies and yes i breed occasionally and sell pups. the end.
