Mainly costs - we love the breed. However the amount of money we paid for Kiwi was astronomical - I would rather have adult dog which was a mother in the past which to me means she was carefully selected as a good personality to pass on to her babies? I am a cat breeder myself and we do rehome lots of ret breeding cats for various reasons and I find those homes which open the heart to older cat or dog are the best what can happen to them... Money issue matters to me too, I find the prices for purebred puppies are just astronomical... |
