Okay, so here's a serious question then, if it's a bad idea for me to buy these dogs and a bad idea for anyone really, what do those who live in these perfect little worlds where the "A+" female and the "B" male dogs living under the same roof and running around together NEVER have a chance encounter that leads to puppies, suppose we do with these dogs that are already here and breathing? Put them to sleep simply because they didn't come from a donating member on here? Let people who have no clue what they could be getting themselves into buy them and then have them wind up at the pound? Honestly, let's say "Wizard of Claws" closed their doors tomorrow and called you on the phone, since they heard that everyone here knows what's best for everyone else, and asked you what they should do with the remaining puppies, what would tell them?
Then there's the fact that if you stop and think about it, they're not making money on the older dogs that I'm interested in anyway, so it's not really supporting them. - Say they bought them when they were 12 wks old (admitedly, they were probably younger than that, but just for estimation here...) for $300 a each, add on to that they have to be up-to-date on shots per Florida law so at least one round of shots, the food that it takes to feed that dog for two more months, the employees they have to pay to clean up after the dog and take the pictures that you see on their web site, everything from the water they wash out kennels with to lights in their shop, rent for their store, ect and break that down for each dog, for each day that it's spent there... More than likely, they're taking a loss on the older dogs.
And did I really see someone advise me not to buy one because I wouldn't be able to carry it around in my purse if it was less than out-going?
