[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why people feel it’s perfectly ethical to “adopt” a dog for a fee from a “rescue” system that is propping up not only backyard breeders but also puppy mill auctions, with little to no regard for what dogs are suitable for what jobs, and then turn around and tell people they’re bad for looking for a reputable breeder. And yes, I have adopted multiple dogs! I’m not opposed to adopting dogs. It’s the poorly considered, reflexive orthodoxy I find so objectionable. There’s not even an attempt at envisioning a long term solution and I’m starting to think they don’t want one.

OP I think you make your best effort on finding an ethical breeder and proceed. I don’t understand how these people think the “rescue” puppies appear on earth. They’re all bred somehow.

They do not support backyard breeders, dear. What  a crazy way to support your idea of the "reputable" breeding dog industry which,  by the way, is causing more harm. Backyard breeders don't get your small  fee- rescues take to find homes. Rescues take in all dogs, dogs abandoned by hunters ( yep, mine was a pure bred dog running around Mississippi like all hounds running around there), abandoned  by owners, dogs from unspayed dogs,  mutts no one wants, pit bulls no one wants, and the list goes on. Don't pay someone 4k for a designer breed when thousands of dogs  await homes and are killed.  A fee? Yeah, 200 bucks for vet care and food. I will gladly  pay it, even triple.

Why do we have so much hemangiosarcoma,lymphoma,  sarcoma in dogs? Dog breeding. [/quote]
