re: Adopting Rescues vs Buying from a Breeder

what if you don't plan ahead or sign up on any list but one day go looking for a specific breed. You buy a dog but two of his litter mates don't sell.
so its kinda like adopting but not really. Cause if we didn't save him he would be living in a house with way too many dogs and they might send him to the pound, in which case its even more like we rescued him.

So, you want millions of dogs to simply go unadopted over this “unknown” amount of time?
That likely would result in the euthanasia of a massive number.
quote:Would a responsible owner no longer be responsible if they chose a rescue?
In all seriousness though, your stance is moronic. The dogs that are ending up in shelters are not the purebreds. Those are taken care of.
The people that purchase dogs from breeders tend to be the responsible ones.

Also, this “problem” you speak of will still exist even if all breeders closed.

He won't answer you. It won't fit his agenda.

Is it better to let THAT puppy have a shite home, have it taken to a shelter, and THEN you "adopt it"? I'm just wondering if there is a "moral" difference. The puppy now lives. So, now what?
So that is actually your stance, huh.
This whole holier-than-thou thought process of adoption vs buying is frankly ridiculous.

Put the blame where it belongs. If EVERYONE bought from reputable breeders, there would be fewer mutts at the pound cause people,who pay generally take better care them the ones looking for a cheap one.
You are assuming the average person will spay or neuter the animal.
If they don’t & their neighbors don’t then here comes a litter of puppies no one wanted.
Then the puppies get given away at the grocery store for free to someone who isn’t going to spay or neuter. Then a lost dog wanders up. Here’s another litter of puppies.
Think they will fix the puppies when they didn’t fix the original one?

So, you want all the puppies to go to a shite home (the pound) rather than a good home because other dogs go to a shite home and it is not fair.
This is like doggy communism.

They aren’t the problem.

You just want to take all dogs that exist and put them into the rescue shelter system out of some blatantly obvious misguided “noble view”.
Scruffy can only imagine what your politics are like.

Because i fricking want to and don't give a shite about your opinion. I want the dog that I want, not what happens to be available at the pound. Did you buy a specific car the last time you went car shopping or did you just say "I'll just take whatever you got." I am all for people adopting dogs, and not saying that I wont adopt a dog in the future, but I am fricking sick of people giving me shite because I bought a nice hunting dog from a highly respected breeder. Mind your own fricking business and leave me the frick alone.
I would add that the above response could be converted to apply to several different topics.
I’ve got one bred dog and one rescue. The rescue dog is one of the friendliest and sweetest dogs I’ve ever owned, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t lose her mind during a thunderstorm. I’ve often wondered if that didn’t have something to do with when she served hard time at The Big House. The bred dog is a little bitch to everyone but me and that just pisses my wife off

The absolute worst part about the OP is that, rather than holding the view that it is a fantastic thing that a puppy from ANY location ended up in a good home, he holds the view that it is only a good thing that puppies from certain locations end up in a good home.
That is both pessimistic and self-defeatist as frick.

My first one I wanted a boxer puppy which I got then I rescued my other two. Pros and Cons to each.

Yes, why do we blame those who want a specific breed of dog instead of those who either abandoned theirs or didn’t bother to get theirs fixed? The people creating so many dogs for adoption are the problem.

The shelters are insuferable here
No you can't come visit my house after I adopt

Specific dog breeds that people want aren’t always gonna be a rescue
Posted on 5/29/19 at 6:51 am to CaptainPanic
I can't stand self-righteous animal people. I'd rather buy a specific breed and know what I'm getting myself into than deal with a mutt and 8000 invasive questions about my lifestyle and my plans. The 2 I have right now are individual, purebred rescues, though.
I follow several dog rescues, and one of them recently posted a story about a potential adopter who was denied because her current dog was not neutered. That goes beyond finding homes for strays and into some ego thing deciding who is worthy of a dog. Stupid. They could've homed the dog, but instead passed judgment on this chick and then posted about her ignorance.

My buddy breeds Yorkies and gave me mine and she’s my favorite little buddy I ever had. But yeah, in general- errybody go adopt and care for a dog.

We wanted a black lab. So we bought one. Awesome, sweet dog. Then we rescued a puppy because we wanted a second dog. I made the compromise that if we got a second dog, it had to be a rescue. So, we rescued one. Another awesome, sweet dog.

Why do rescue lovers always shame everyone?
What’s wrong with responsible dog owners who prefer the traits of a particular breed?
Why do we have to be shamed because other arseholes aren’t responsible and they can’t take care of their dog?
Frick you for trying to say we are bad because we don’t want a rescue dog.

Rather than being happy that a puppy was adopted from any location, they are only happy if it was adopted from a specific type of place.
To hell with all dogs not stuck in shelters.

Because I wanted a certain breed that I wanted to raise from a puppy.
And, you know, it’s my dog.
