You get no guarantee of personality from either, you have to go through training & behavioral issues from either & so on & so on. So IMHO that is not an excuse or maybe I should say that it is ( just an excuse ). I am really not trying to attack anyone, only trying to educate. As so many people think shelter dogs are damaged goods & this is so far from the truth. The only damage a shelter dog has was caused by human beings & can be easily reversed by human beings & is no harder than training a new puppy is all I'm saying. And, How could you say that your dog is not good enough ??? for you to be a YT Member ??? ALL dogs are Good Enough ! In my opinion this whole shelter dogs are not good enough is discrimination at it's finest especially since they come from the same dogs & types of dogs as the OP bred for this woman to purchase a puppy from when she could have just as easily saved a shelter dogs life. IMHO the OP should be ashamed of herself for adding to the problem but I guarantee she has no shame that dogs died because she brought more unneeded dogs into this world. Again I hope that you don't take my post personally or as an attack as I'm just trying to educate & SAVE LIVES  |
Saying "don't take my post personally" is impossible when you make personal references. I will disregard your statement, as you most certainly intended to make it personal- your specific comments make that more than clear.
I find it odd to judge a situation that you have ZERO knowledge of. Saying "I can assure you" in regardless to me making a comment about adoption and purchasing seems like a stretch because you absolutely can't assure anything you have no facts about? Did you even ask my reasons? No. You made an assumption.
Throwing out baseless and carless comments is very immature and disrespectful. It's a shame you feel the need to judge a complete stranger for their choices off assumptions you've made all on your own. Gathering facts and making an informed opinion is something I 100% support.
If you want to "educate" people and "save lives", start a separate thread about adoption vs buying from an "unscrupulous breeder". And more power to you! (I genuinely mean that)
I came on here to give an update in what I thought was a positive and friendly environment, and genuinely tried to be kind with my responses.
I'm sorry it bothers you SO much that I purchased a mixed breed dog. I realize that at this point your mind is made up, and I feel no need to defend and/or explain my choices.
So on that note... tootles. I'm off to pray for my sin of buying a dog from a breeder 5 years ago
