For all those that think BUYING shelter dogs is the only dogs you should BUY. Please read the following and maybe you will discover some things about shelters, breeding and how to buy differently.
First of all, are you aware of the fact that when you go to an animal shelter, you are BUYING a pet from that shelter? Do you know where the shelter animals come from for the most part? Let me educate you on that, as you may have a different opinion once you know.
A lot of Shelter dogs are BRED by people who wanted their children to witness birth.. Shelter dogs are also produced by ignorant owners, who ALLOW their intact animals to run free. Did you know that SHELTERS and so called RESCUES are BIG BUSINESS, and only in the sale of dogs because of the Billions shelters & rescues make every year? Did you know that Shelters literally breed shelter dogs behind the scenes, because puppies are their best sellers? Are you aware that Shelters and so called RESCUES ship in breeds from other states and countries, that will sell in their area better then other breeds and Euthanize the breeds that don't sell as well? So when BUYING from a SHELTER or so called RESCUE, you are supporting those BREEDERS!
Now don't think my response is in anyway malice.. My response is simply to educate and now you have some things to research and discover on your own. And I am all for BUYING a shelter dog. The problem with shelter dogs is they are not purposely bred for any particular task, so they definitely are not for everyone. You won't know the temperament, traits or energy level of shelter dogs as you would a purposely bred dog.
Breeders are necessary in our world, breeding amazing dogs, who are bred with PURPOSE for a PURPOSE. Such as, SERVICE DOGS, POLICE DOGS, BOMB DOGS, COMPANION DOGS...ETC. Reputable breeders who breed with Purpose are breeding to IMPROVE their chosen breeds and produce a healthier animal for whatever purpose that dog is bred for..
I hope this helps you understand the big business of Shelter dogs and Rescues and the Purpose behind breeding RESPONSIBLY. May you love your 4 legged family member regardless of who bred it and where it came from.
