its life
there are people who go to the shelters and look first and dont see what they want! so they place them selves on the list with another set of people waiting for the same dog to come it and then its a first come first basis OR its a purebred rescue they cant get approved by and life as this generation is, is not waiting for anything so they BUY from us pitiful byb or hobby breeders. People do not want others telling them they can or can not have a dog..so they go to someone in hopes of not being judged or turned down..im sure some people bypass the shelter because of the rejection.
and maybe for good cause they are not approved but you cant blame on all people who buy/sell
again i have no problem with rescues i have helped and would love to help rescues i have donated money and time and support all the wonderful work they do. |
Of all I posted that's what you got from it? I'm not against buying a puppy. I'm against buying a puppy and supporting disreputable breeders who breed for all the wrong reasons.
What I'm for? Rescue, yes, but also supporting responsible reputable breeders who have the betterment of the breed in mind.
People who would not jump thru hoops to get approved by rescue, or approved by a reputable breeder (yes you really do need to impress them) think they DESERVE to get a dog. that they shouldn't have to prove it. If they have the money it's their right isn't it? Well, surprise, just bc someone WANTS a dog doesn't necessarily mean they should have one. Ever seen humans that should never of had kids? Same thing.
btw, you are not a hobby breeder.
