My pure breed was a rescue.
Same here. Sure, we dropped $500 on him, but that money went straight to a shelter that needed it.
I had a relative ask me who our breeder was, so I feel like we got a steal.

My golden comes from a national grand champion line and was fricking expensive, but is the smartest dog I've ever had.

I have a lab from a reputable breeder and a pup we found on the side of the road.
The rescue pup is obviously inbred and is also filly retarded

I got my dog from that dude that posted on here about 6-7 years ago about the litter he found in a ditch. I forced fed that little fricker a month to get him through parvo.
I have never once thought about looking down my nose at someone who has a nicely bred dog. That’s just fricking weird

That’s good of you but the “adopt don’t shop” folks are more than happy to shame people.

We wanted a golden, so we went with a breeder

We have always gotten shelter dogs, but we narrowed down to a couple of breeds this time and looked for months with no luck. Finally got them from a breeder.

Adopt? Are you one of those people who LOVE using terms that serve to humanize animals?
Talk to someone who has actually adopted children. It’s a VERY different commitment than buying a fricking dog.
You adopt children. You buy or take-in dogs.

Some people that get rescued or free dogs definitely look down on people that pay for a certain breed. Im not sure exactly why but it’s probably jealousy.

No shite?

Probably not.
Probably due a lot more to knowing how cruel the puppy mill industry can be in a large amount of cases and the fact that there are tons of options to adopt even purebred dogs that have been given up for whatever reason.
I purposefully used adopt that time just because.

Got my old dog from a vet run rescue, and got my young dog from a farmer who had an accidental litter. His exact words were “she had them in the back of that unused barn in an old horse stall” and I went in there and found one and kept it.
If I was getting something like a German shepherd, I’d want to get it from a reputable breeder where I could meet the parents.
I’m sure most rescue GSDs are great, but there’s a strain of batshit crazy/mentally handicapped that seems to show up every once in a while in that breed that you want to avoid.

I got mine from a friend in California that breeds Goldens. If I am being questioned by one of the militant rescue folks I just tell them I stole the dog. They don't really know what to do with that.

If you obtained your dog through a kennel/breeder did you get any guff from people telling you shouldn’t have gone that route?
My dogs are well bred like myself.
Don't care what the adopt a dog crowd thinks or says.

Lol f them
I tried to go to shelter and I would say we are interested in x dog and they would say we will think about it.
I will never go to shelter. Located in NJ

You went to a rescue ran by women that think they have power
You didn’t go to a shelter
