This forum is broken down into many sections, to me it is sort of like chapters in a book, look them over because with a new puppy there is so much information that will be helpful to you as he grows. It is so nice to read how happy and excited you are with Jax, we all look forward to see him grow, so promise not to leave us |
It's not that a puppy is a mix...it's whether or not you were deceived. It's whether or not dogs are being abused to create 'puppies for profit'...and often unhealthy ones, at that...then those parents and 'defective pups' are 'tossed like a used tissue' that is upsetting. It's whether or not you were overcharged and lied to about the dog's pedigree. It's the
deception that's the problem...not the mix...or the dog.
I love all the dogs regardless of where they came from...it's the 'evil people abusers' that I 'stress' over. From what I see here, by the time YT members get the opportunity to inform, more often than not, the 'abusers' have already cashed the new YT member's check while the new YT member searches here for answers, and scribbles more checks, and signs credit card promises to pay trying to save a sweet, precious baby's life that was previously
NOT a baby lovingly 'created' by a careful and concerned, loving 'breeder' but was merely 'hatched' as a 'product' of a 'business venture' created by a 'greeder'...nothing more than a 'commodity' in its creators' and seller's eyes...it was a number of a P&L statement. And, sometimes, it's whether or not the new owner treats that new baby like 'it's just a dog' rather than a loved and welcomed family member...perhaps just tosses the baby aside when life gets busy or the owner gets a new hobby. To me, these are some of the important issues.
I have had plenty of mixed breed dogs...strays, dumps, re-homes, half (or more) starved rescues, Humane Society fosters and adoptees, and 'free to a good home' puppies on their way to the pound 'if nobody takes them by this weekend' throw-away babies. I have had a rescue Yorkie-Poo infant who would have died if we hadn't found him...my little velcro heartbeat for many years, lots of Shep/Lab mixes (wonderful cross), a Rott(en)/Pitt lol mix (what a BABY that one...lol), a Dachsi-Poo (gorgeous little ditz he was...what a coat, and Dachsi colors/points), gosh, what else...doesn't matter...lol...and that completely leaves out all the cats and other pets over the years.
They were all so beautiful, sweet, special, and loving family members.
Now, I have 2 purebred Yorkies who are 6 days apart in age. I got them 3 months apart...Brody, when he was 14 months old, and (golden) Mia, when she was 17 months old. They needed new, good, forever homes so now they are with me.
Not to brag, but
I have had the
best dogs ever!!!!
Your little Jax and Toby are adorable and so precious. They will give you priceless pure love, joy and happiness. It's what they do!
