[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pure breed pets - there are so many unhomed dogs.  If you truly want/like an animal, go to the shelter.  If you spend more than $50. on a dog, you are just stupid.  Foolish with money, and probably foolish about everything else.

We wanted a specific dog breed.  We didn't really check the shelter - I actually think ours was closed at the time.  We did try to go through a rescue group, but we had a bad experience with them and since the rescue group was charging $375, it wasn't that much more to pay $500 for a purebred.  It wasn't a ritzy breeder, but our dog does actually have papers.  But she's our pet, not a showdog.

I don't know if you have gotten an animal lately, but even at the shelter we paid over $100 for a cat a few years back - I'm sure dogs are more.  And the rescue groups are not any cheaper.

I have gotten animals in all different ways - a store ($30 for a cat in the late 80s), off the street (a stray in our neighborhood in the late 90's, who then had kittens and my roommate and I kept a kitten), through the SPCA (foster cat program, pretty sure we paid over $100 for that) and the shelter (see above).  I really don't think buying a dog for our family from a breeder once makes us wasteful, stupid people.

But, seriously, show me where you are getting any animal for less than $100 these days....unless it is a box of kittens on the corner that says free.[/quote]
