I even will not tell how much I hate millers and stupid backyard breeders.
Anyway, adopt! Save a life. Yes, you might have some issues in the beginning, but if you like your baby, you will be very happy to see how is this poor thing abused before, will love you. I adopted my girl from a mill, and although she was with me for two years only, I HAVE NEVER EVER REGREt about it. Yes, she did have some issues: barking, food aggression, no manners. ALL gone - she was a perfect dog after a while. All they need is love and patient.
My girl died because she had a brain illness. Some people tell me: I will not adopt, you see, you adopted and she died. SO what? I can tell at least a few stories, when people pay a LOT OF MONEY BUYING cute puppy, and have SAME problem!!!!!! Because stupid breeders breed dogs with genetic disease and don't care about it. They hardly even know their dogs have bad genetic. And what kills me - people STILL do not see the whole pic. They THINK they buy from a reputable breeder when they buy buy from a con artist millers. There are nothing good if you find your pup through newspaper add, or online - the best friends of puppy mills. People think they know about puppy mills.... yeh.... Just yesterday, someone told me that they ADOPT a yorkie from newspaper. how stupid..... I said: you mean - you bought it? She - well ....yes, but it was cheap..... Adoption, what a joke....
Or someone told me PROUDLY - I RESCUED th pup from a breeder, meaning she bought a pup for 1.5k. Rescued? excuse me?
If my another yorkie girl wouldn't be so spoiled and selfish, I would adopt another. I will never ever buy a dog again. Only rescue!!!!
Go to petfinder, look how many cute babies need home.
I have seen yorkie dumped in gas chamber shelter somewhere in Georgia...
I have seen puppies.... I have seen way too many to describe.
There are many high kill shelters in California where you can see designer breed puppies !!!!! Not adults!!!!
Don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die.
The only recommendation I have - check out rescues too. Not of them good, sorry, and the most disgusting thing - some breeders pretend to be a rescue.
Good luck -) |
