I agree. Plus, a dog from a respectable, responsible breeder will also be spending money on the pups. Why do you think respectable, responsible breeders charge $1,000 for a dog?
$1000 vs $300 or maybe $400 is a big difference. I will say I have seen rescues charge more for younger healthier dogs because they're more desirable. It makes sense when they have other dogs that need medical care. Where do you think that money comes from?
