[quote=Anonymous]This is a fascinating thread. The disconnect seems to be between people who have dogs because dogs need a home versus people who have dogs because they want a dog. I wonder if the rescue camp would be okay with breeders if there were no more rescue dogs? Personally, this thread has confirmed for me that I am ethically fine with our decision to buy a dog from a small breeder because we knew we wanted puppy and a certain kind. I looked at some nearby shelters and did not see any dogs that would suit our preferences, and do not have an overarching sense of responsibility to "save" the dogs.[/quote]
