[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t say you’re “ adopting “ a dog if you’re getting a dog from a breeder. 
Adopting is for dogs that need homes in shelters, rescue groups, foster homes etc. 
You want to buy a dog and therein support the mass breeding of puppies for profit. They are not one and the same. [/quote]

Whatever happened to respecting people's choices just as you would want them to respect the choices you make?  I'm so tired of the holier than thou rescue dog crowd looking down at people who go to [b]reputable breeders, not puppy mills[/b] and do all of the proper research and vetting.

There are responsible breeders out there who are not the same as puppy mills.  Not everyone wants to roll the dice on a "rescue" that may or may not be suited for their family.  Many of these dogs are fine, but have behavioral issues or anxiety issues from the stressful situations they were removed from and may not be appropriate for children, elders people, etc.

OP, you get the dog that is best for you and your family.[/quote]
Own your choices. I adopted my lab from lab rescue. His owner turned him in with a dislocated hip ( unknown how it happened) and didn’t want him anymore. He’s lovely. 
It’s not holier then though to adopt. It’s the right think to do as a human being when shelters are full of dogs needing humans. 
If you want to buy ahead and can do so legally, go ahead. But own it. It’s not adoption. [/quote]

Lots of kids are in foster care needing to be adopted?  Do you feel that way about kids too?[/quote]
