Supporting breeders is lame AF

You people are the worst.


I took my 12 week old yellow lab to PetSmart last weekend and they must have had some sort of shelter/adoption day. We were in the parking lot and a woman in a tshirt two sizes too big with a huge dachshund on the front came up to me...

"Oh your puppy is so cute!" *pets my extremely cute puppy*

"Yes she is, thank you."

"Did you get her from a shelter?"

"No ma'am, I got her from a breeder. She's going to be a hunting dog."

"SHAME ON YOU! blah blah blah I run the shelter in Lafayette blah blah blah we get labs all the time blah blah blah"

"Ok well have a nice day."

fricking count.



I don't need a goddamn lecture from the loon with disheveled hair wearing a 3XL tshirt patrolling the pet store parking lot. I will buy whatever I want with my money. I wanted a dog with a strong hunting bloodline and healthy genes -- so I researched breeders and bought a dog with a strong hunting bloodline and whose parents and grandparents were free of hip, elbow, and eye problems and all that jazz.
