[quote=Anonymous]Easily. There is virtually no overlap between the responsible breeding market and the secondhand "rescue" market, with the "rescue" market targeting non-serious dog owners, while the responsible market targets serious dog owners who do things with their dogs, such as training and sports.

I sleep very easily at night, because I contribute in no way to the breeding of unwanted dogs in the deep South, I am a responsible owner who is not a menace to my community and, indeed, if I could not have a well-bred dog of a breed of my choice, I would not own a dog.

Buying a dog is a big decision that I do not take lightly, unlike buyers in a certain other market segment. While others may choose to buy their dog secondhand (because very few dog owners jumped in the river and rescued a dog), I choose to responsible dog ownership.

A better question is, how can those who purchased a dog who was previously surrendered for behavioural issues sleep at night if it harms an innocent person or pet? [/quote]
