[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or even a designer mutt, why is it anyone's place to tell them that they should have reescued a dog?
We got a special breed because my husband is disabled and we needed a calm dog, thus a special breed. 
I have no reason to feel that I owe anyone an explanation. 
Before, when I lived alne and single, I wanted a purebred guard dog that I had trained to guard. I got pure bred puppies and have no regrets.

I am fully aware that there are too many dogs and so on, but please people, every single time a person posts about a breed, someone (often the first post) is about rescue. [/quote]

I think it's because well-meaning people don't realize how strident and condescending they sound when they say things like that. It's really the same thing as telling an infertile couple that it's OK you can always adopt.

A lot of rescue dogs are bad fits with families. And a lot of animal shelters won't actually place a dog with a family with small children. Been there in both cases. Done that in both cases. Went to a breeder. Glad we did.[/quote]
