[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s exceptionally cruel to support perpetuating the genetic issues that so many of the rescue dogs have. One of my DDs dog (great pet for her) is timid, knock-kneed and prone to allergies. The structural defects will be life-limiting for him. While he won’t reproduce as he’s been neutered the bursting at the seams shelters and the incentivizing of this social shaming of anything but adopting one of these unknown mixes just reinforces generations of less than ideal animals.

All potential pet owners have the clearest chances of having a healthy, good tempered, able bodied pet if bought from a vetted breeder. As we get closer and closer to being able to weed out inherited issues in humans why in the world would the primitive chance breeding of animals be the ethical choice when science and incentives exist to create the best animals? I chose the size and temperament of the pet I wanted, decided on the breed that best exhibited those qualities and then researched breeders. I didn’t fall in love with some big brown eyes at a rescue event in Petworth-I paid $$$$ that this breeder deserves for ‘growing’ a good product. I’m the cruncy granola vegetarian all organic type but as an animal lover I want ethical people raising healthy dogs and I’m thrilled if they are well compensated for it.[/quote]
