Yes, but this isn't a thread about looking for a new puppy, its about rehoming a dog. A dog from the type of breeder you describe would probably require, by contract, that it be returned to the breeder should rehoming be sought, as is the case with my pup.
In my personal opinion, I find the response, "if you have to ask the price right off, you can't afford it", flippant and ignorant. Inquiring about an asking price in no way correlates to my bank balance or finanical situation. It's a matter of what I'm willing to spend on what's presented to me, not what I'm able to afford.
| Yes, this is about rehoming a dog. Even rescue organizations have a charge, some more than others, and it's good to know what you're talking about. I, too, think that asking the price relates to what I'm willing to spend on what's presented to me, not necessarily what I'm able to afford.
I have had to rehome a much-loved dog because of a situation I didn't cause and couldn't change and it's very traumatic. I adopted a little long-haired Chihuahua last September (after the loss of my precious Bichon, Lacy) from a local rescue group and it was great. They did all the right things and she is the sweetest little dog ever. If I needed to find a home for a dog now, I would definitely contact a rescue group first. That's what they do ... and most of them do it well.
