I just wish that every owner of a cute little dog would spend just 10 min in an animal shelter & look into the eyes of all of those dogs that NEED homes whom most of witch will die needlessly & senselessly because so many people feel they want/need to breed their dog ( just once) to create more dogs for whatever reason, non of witch is good enough when LIVES are being snuffed out because of over population. I just can't wrap my brain around that, because to me when people purchase a mixed breed they are saying they just could care less that a shelter dog will die. Really IMHO all dogs are the same on the inside, they ALL just want to be LOVED & to LOVE YOU. Don't get me wrong here because I have loved very much each Yorkie I have owned but honestly some of the best dogs I have had the privilege of sharing my life with have come out of High Kill shelters. I honestly think that people that PURCHASE mixed breed dogs from BYB's, Greaders & OOOPs litters are out of their minds. Why ? when you can go to your local shelters or PetFinder & find the same mixed breeds rite there & best of all SAVE A LIFE ! I'm really not trying to offend anyone, but I think as human beings we need to regroup & get our priorities readjusted. If more people would adopt instead of shop for these mixed breeds, then people would think twice before breeding their cute little mixes. I know there will be people saying nonsesne about creating new breeds but come on now, do we really need any more breeds of dogs ? |
I'm sorry you feel that when people purchase a mixed breed dog it means "they just could care less that a shelter dog will die", as that is not the case in my personal situation and we also currently own and have owned rescue dogs in the past.
I find a few of you statements baseless as you have zero idea about anyones personal situation or reasons for purchasing a dog. To just assume that is very, very careless.
You are 100% entitled to your opinions, but maybe you should take a second to realize that not everyone can adopt or rescue a dog due to many factors and situations. If you can and are in the position to do so, I think it's a wonderful choice to make, but if you aren't I don't find it right to judge people based off your assumptions on a situation you know nothing about.
It's really sad this thread has turned into some strange negative debate, yikes!
