[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are funny. A pup has an 8-12 week window of socialization. If it hasn't had it by then, it won't get it. How many people post in this forum about aggressive dogs? Or fearful dogs that bite? Dogs that are intolerant of children and other dogs?

A good breeder:  not Jim-bob who had pups in the shed, or mister Amish dude with 39 bitches in cages, nor yet some golden doodle breeder with a litter every month-- will socialize the pups, will take the time to properly stimulate them before their eyes open, will have carefully selected the parents for good traits and will stand by their dogs, to the point of paying to have that dog returned to them if something goes wrong. Even if you, the owner, were what went wrong.

Yes, but didn't you know that animals in county animal shelters get evaluated as well?
If an animal is too aggressive, then he will be deemed not suitable for adoption. It's not like you hear on the news all the time about people being mauled to death by their animal shelter pets while those who bought their pets from a pet store or breeder have perfect and angelic animals.

Your biased response is just fueling the rumor that shelter pets are damaged goods and I just want people to know that is not true at all.
It is VERY possible to find a loving and well-behaved pet in a shelter. Plus, they come spayed or neutered and microchipped as well.

I adopted a kitty from my shelter who was days away from being euthanized. He is the love of my life. He has never bitten or scratched me and his unconditional love for me is beyond anyone's wild imagination.
He is not damaged at all and is very well behaved. He always approaches strangers in a shy manner, sniffing them out before stroking his head against their legs. He has so much love to give everyone and I think it would have been a shame for this world if his existence was cut short just because someone out there considered him a damaged good. [/quote]
