[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.  I want a certain kind of dog.
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]

You forgot one.

1) I want a dog
2) I do not want a pitbull of any kind
3) I won't get one from a rescue because I do not trust them not to lie about the breeding of the dog.[/quote]

Is there something wrong with not wanting a pitbull?

And I know people will say "rescues have more than just pitbulls" but I've actually volunteered in a rescue and while there are other breeds occasionally, they are either not available for adoption or they are claimed the second they become available. You'd have to camp there to get your claim on a non-pitbull. [/quote]

Are you kidding me? Go to the websites of Lost Dog, the DC area shelters, Lucky Dog, etc. There are SO not only “occasionally” dogs other than pit bulls. There are tons of dogs that clearly have no pit in them whatsoever. I have easily adopted two non pits. Tons of beagles, hounds, terriers, etc. are for the taking. If you don’t want one of those dogs, that’s fine, but again own it. This hyperbole isn’t helping your case.[/quote]

Why does anyone need to "justify" it or have a "case" for something that is not illegal? This is not the underage sex trade.[/quote]
