[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids, the youngest was 8 months old when we wanted to get a dog.  I visited the shelter many times. (Fairfax Co on West Ox Rd) I rarely saw a dog that wasn't a pit bull or a pit mix.  One time I saw they had puppies (unclear about the breed), and all the puppies were adopted immediately.

I think the rescues come and take all the non-pit dogs as soon as they come in.  The only dogs that weren't pit usually elderly or had behavioral issues and couldn't be around small children.  So I found a breeder.

I wanted a young dog that would grow up with our kids knowing it's place in the pack order, and that's what we got.  A loving, sweet dog that was super easy to train and can be trusted around any child.[/quote]
Wow. You checked ONE shelter. There are so many more options. [/quote]

Yeah, I checked one shelter, multiple times.  I'm not going to be driving all across the DMV checking shelters.

You can try to make me feel bad, but I have nothing to feel bad about.[/quote]
I’m not trying to make you feel bad, but own it that you wanted to go to a breeder because you don’t give a shit. Don’t tell us how you went to a shelter and couldn’t find a good fit and that justifies it. You could have checked Petfinder or dozens of rescues that don’t require you to “drive all across the DMV”. 
[b]BTW, no dog can be trusted “around any child”. [/b]Such an ignorant statement. They are still animals. [/quote]

If you listen to pit bull advocates, you would know that pit bulls are "nanny dogs" designed and bred to watch small children and babies, even when adults aren't around.  :roll:

That stupidity is why people don't want rescue dogs.[/quote]
