What if I want a Vizla?  Or a Standard Poodle?
What about an Airedale?  Or an Irish Setter?  
How about a Bernese Mountain Dog?  Or a Scottish Deerhound?  Or a Samoyed?

These are not rare breeds.  But they are certainly not languishing in the shelters.

Also, a lot of the rescue organizations will claim that a dog is one "fill-in-the-blank" mix when, in reality, the dog is nothing of the sort.  For example, do we really think that this dog (https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/35636540) is an cattle dog mix?  No.  They just want to label it something other than pit mix.  When I got one of my dogs from Lost Dog and Cat Rescue about 8 years ago, they said he was a border collie and lab mix.  Nope.  We found out later that he was a brittany mix (with some pointer and beagle possibly thrown in).

OP, to answer your original question, we got our German Shepherd from a breeder for $800 eleven years ago.[/quote]

So you want a rare breed of dog instead of a dog that would love a home. Again...you are a Gucci type of person...you want that expensive and sought after item. It is not about the dog, it's the status.
BTW...German Sheps also have a huge rate of cancer death, hemangiosarcoma  as an example...because they are bred. And your demand for bred dogs is the reason. Please don't try to justify this practice. It' s cruel, it's fostering genetic illness in dogs, and it's fueling an unfortunate practice for money.[/quote]
