[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm aware of labradoodles for $2,900, bulldogs for $2,500.

P.s don't judge me for buying my dog from a breeder. [/quote]

Fine. We won't judge you for buying from a breeder. We will just judge for spending that much money on a dog when you could have gotten one for damn near free from a shelter. You are part of the problem.[/quote]
It's not darn near free.... Young dogs from rescue cost like $800, and I don't even mention crazy application process you have to get trough, like personal references, vet references, house visit, essay about ideal weekday and weekend of the dog, and how our family plans to get that rescue dog happy. Really?[/quote]

This extensive vetting process is a myth! I'm sure some shelters do something like this but I've adopted from three different shelters/rescues and it's not been that extensive. They do ask where you plan to take the dog to the vet, I see nothing wrong with that or intrusive. They ask important questions about puppy care which any responsible breeder should ask, too. And I've had one do a home visit. I've adopted when I lived in an apartment without a yard and when I lived in a house without a fence. It's never been a problem.

And it's never cost me more than $300 including spay/neuter. And there isn't a SAHP, and we leave the dog alone during the day.

I'm so sick of seeing this myth on here that it is soooo hard to adopt a rescue. It's simply not true.[/quote]
