You should always buy pets from a reputable breeder anyway.


Yes, if you want the dog to have puppies. I always get my dog neutered and I don't want to pay the price of breeders who expect you to recoup your loss by breeding.

I always visit privately run rescue shelters. But I examine the dogs carefully and if I'm not certain about the majority of it's mix then I go to another shelter or just come back later.

I'm not a dog person, but all three cats we've owned have come from breeders. You always have to pay more if you intend to breed. We just want a good kitty. Pet quality kittens are usually $1000 and up, depending on the breed. We have a ten week old Scottish Fold kitten. He was $2000. Worth the money because you know what kind of pet you are getting. Our little dude is awesome so far. It's a roll of the dice scooping up some random parking lot cat for a pet.

Good bloodline is highly important. Good breeders will have excellent records and genealogy tracked through AKC. This will include any known character traits, history in the line of malady, such as hip displacement and if there are any championships in the bloodline.

All this is really desirable. Dogs at shelters? A real roll of the dice. Sometimes works out. Many times not.
