Since the OP has not responded lately I am assuming that she probably went ahead and got the pup. People want what they want when they want it. It seems that many people feel they are not accountable for their actions. They get their puppy and feel if they happen to get a puppy that appears healthy then so what? They feel no responsibility for the other dogs that they are helping to remain in filth and suffering. I have noticed quite a few here on YT that feel that way. Others I am sure feel the same way but do not state their opinions. I realize that many here have gotten their dogs from BYB's and puppy mills and probably feel as though we are insulting them and their dogs by speaking against these places. One lady said she is not a puppy snob and that all dogs deserve to be loved no matter where they come from. Talk about missing the point all together! Someone else says that there are not enough well bred dogs to meet the demand. From what I have seen of the many Yorkies that make it into a rescue most of those buyers should never have purchased their dogs to begin with. They did not want the dog when it got too big or they had to surrender it because they could not afford the high vet bills for their genetically damaged pup.
I am not a puppy snob either. I feel all dogs should be given the right to live in a loving home but there are not enough of them to meet the "demand."
Stop the suffering. Don't buy from pet stores, brokers, puppy mills or backyard breeders! |
