This is a reason why I usually like to get dogs that are looking to be rehomed or from a shelter. We got our purebred boxer from the shelter and she is one of the best dogs I've ever met. I have seen a few threads that are disturbing lately. I wouldn't breed if I didn't have money to cover extra expenses. I wouldn't breed a dog that isn't of standard or was deaf or blind. I think it is alot of greed, thinking they can make a quick buck. But that is the world we live in today, theres always been these kinds of people and there always will be. Unless we can start fixing humans who are just plain evil so they aren't adding evilness into the world what can we really do? Not everyone is passionate about animals.
I just found out from a breeder friend of mine that she sent one of her dogs to a friend of hers in the US. She knew her well, spoke with her for a long time before making the decision to send her dog there, a bull terrier. Well this lady got sick of the dog after TWO WEEKS! And what did she do? She tied her up in the backyard for 6 months. Taking her in and taking pictures occasionally to "show" that the dog was doing well, tricking this woman for 6 months with lies of the beautiful farm she has and beach and forests around her house. Making lies up that she had to put the dog to sleep by authorities. Well the dog escaped a few times and finally the last time the dog got out some nice people found the dog and somehow got into contact with the breeder and the dog is now back with the breeder. I saw pictures and it's just horrible, she had cuts all around her neck from the chain :(
Theres sick people in this world and you can't do much about it unless you put those sick people to SLEEP! I love my animals so much, they are better friends to me then some skin friends I have and YES sometimes I am not in the best situations with money, I was laid off and had a horrible experience with my last dog, but I did what I COULD for her and I would do what I could for any of my pets, whether it means that I am broke for a while or don't get to do something for myself, I would rather do what I could for my pets and of course my daughter. That is what I live for and that is what I work for and that is always going to be #1 in my life, unfortunately not everyone thinks like that and it is a shame :( |
