[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely absurd. You are all bad people.[/quote]

I'm not sure they're bad ppl, but very misguided and misinformed.

Goldens, Labs, Poodles, Doodles; you can find any dog you want at a shelter.  Every minute, thousands of lovely dogs are killed because they don't have a home.  Lovely dogs with lovely personalities just waiting for someone to notice them.  We've had 2 rescued young Yorkies, both were lovely and friendly.  I'd rather search for months for a rescue than go to a breeder.  Our rescue Yorkie came from a "breeder"; a backyard breeder who was in over her head, and thankfully, reported to authorities.  I'm sure she also shipped her dogs, but she can't anymore because she served time:)[/quote]

2000 dogs killed per minute x 60 minutes per hour x 24 hours per day x 365 days per year equals 1051200000 dogs killed per year? You are off by three orders of magnitude. [/quote]

there's about 1.2 million shelter dogs killed every year for lack of space

but this needn't be an issue of guilting a person into adopting. it's not up to you to save all these animals. just be careful - please be sure to do your research and not buy a dog from a puppy mill. and don't buy this silly info that shelter dogs are emotionally damaged or anything - as someone else said, many of these dogs came from breeders, many were pets; by and large, you are talking about awesome dogs.

and if you get one who's been in foster, you will actually have a great idea of what their personalities are like - you don't have to guess or hope.[/quote]
