[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imo arguing about the adoption fees and the breeder prices is kind of silly because the cost of caring for a typical family pet is usually more than both. The way we do it out here in the burbs (boarding for vacations, specialty vet care when needed) it’s definitely more. What we should be focused on is how we’re trying to achieve a sustainable system for reducing unwanted dogs and providing healthy, suitable pets for families in an ethical way. But nobody is doing that for some reason. [/quote] Isn’t that choosing breeders? Dogs from breeders are required to be neutered and spayed. Breeds have very specific traits, mutts don’t always and can be a wildcard. [/quote] Dogs from ethical breeders - yes (however there are really no ways to enforce it) Backyard breeders and puppy mills care even less about future of the dogs they selling [/quote] Most big dog breeders are puppy milks breeding lots of dogs at once. I’ll take a backyard breeder who only does one at a time and truely cares who the dogs who get adult and child socialization. [/quote]
