My mom is the SAME WAY! "Well, then, we're resucing them from a puppy mill!" and I said "no... you are putting more money in their pockets AND having that mother continue to be bred" and she just went "Oh." LOL.
I know it's a lot to wrap your mind around. Especially if you are not a 'dog enthusiast' like so many of us are on this site. It's very easy to just tell yourself, oh but they are so cute and we are saving them.
