[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I just revisited the thread and LOL.  When did animals become so PC.  The KILL aka Clear shelters seemed like a good idea because they might let us visit, choose a dog and leave with animal.

I want this experience to be fun.  We should be able to show up somewhere, choose a dog that fits well with the kids, then take the dog home.  Disappointing the kids because we need to fix a latch on our fence or will not be home every two hours to socialize the dog is ridiculous.

It's sad we have all these unwanted animals, and a great suburban family like ours will probably go with a breeder.

As for the home visits.  Besides 30 minutes being unrealistic because I will have to completely rearrange my already over-booked schedule, I do not want you in my house, period. [/quote]

You don't want a breeder.  A reputable breeder will make you fill out lots of paperwork.  Many already have planned homes before they breed and that certainly won't work because if the kiddos can't wait a week, they certainly can't wait for a whole breeding.  You want a puppy mill basically.  I hear there are some in the Lancaster area.  You walk up and ask for a dog and they give it to you that day, no questions asked. Think of the kids! No disappointment! No wasting 30 min of your precious day on a home visit! [/quote]
