[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we please stop the silliness?  No one goes through this process:

1.  I want a dog.
2.  I refuse to support rescues because they're bad people and do things wrong.
3.  So I'll go to a breeder and get the exact dog that I want.

This is the real process:

1.  I want a dog.
2. [b] I want a certain kind of dog.
[/b]3.  So I'll go to a breeder and get the exact dog that I want.

Own up to what you're doing and thinking, people.  Quit the bs.[/quote]

What's the BS? My family wants and/or needs certain things in a dog, including behavioral traits.  Some families need dogs that are hypoallergenic or don't shed. I also want a dog that I know is clear of certain medical issues, and that requires results of genetic tests.  I also want a dog that I know has a healthy and happy background and is not coming to us with major issues.  I want a dog somewhere between 8wks and 2yrs old.  Point me to the rescue organization that can do that, and I won't go to a breeder.

Otherwise you are still working on the presumption that any dog will work for any family and that is simply not true.

Maybe in your case.  I still think you suck, obviously, but at least you're being honest.  You're not on here arguing that you went to a breeder because you refuse to support unethical rescue organizations -- the most disingenuous argument I've ever heard.[/quote]
