[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was telling an acquaintance that I have two dogs. That’s all I said. She asked me, “Are they rescues?”

I told her no, and that I got them from breeders. (Both responsible show breeders, but I didn’t tell her that.)

This woman had the nerve to turn her nose up at me. Like, WTF?

These [i]aDoPt DoNt ShOp[/i] people are so unserious.

This is absolutely ridiculous, but unfortunately seems to be common these days amongst many people especially in affluent urban areas.  My family has a purebred chocolate lab, and I've also had people give me nasty looks when I say we got her from a breeder.  There is no consideration amongst these crazy rescue people whether maybe there's a reason that someone chooses to get their dog from a breeder just like there's a reason they chose to "rescue" their dog.  I want to tell these people "What do you think." when they ask if my dog is a rescue.  People make the best choice for their particular circumstance, and in our case, our family wanted a dog that came from a reputable breeder, with less need to worry about potential behavioral issues, PTSD, anxiety, etc.  I know there's no guarantee with any day, but how often have we all encountered a dog with major behavioral issues that the owner immediately points out is because they're a rescue.  Sorry, but these people are obnoxious, and so quick to judge others... [/quote]
