(2,899 posts)I buy the puppy I want from a breeder of my choice. And that puppy gets a fantastic home.
I have reserved a pup right now from a breeder and will be getting her in another month. I picked her out when she was two days old. All the pups from the litter have been reserved and their new families are counting down the days when they are ready to leave their mother. The breeder is breeding a breed of dogs that people not only, want but NEED.
I went into a animal shelter, last year, to offer a farm/ranch home to feral cats and while there I took a peek at the dogs. They were all pit bulls or pit bull crosses, except for one. Why is that? Bloody things probably got taken to the shelter, or abandoned, after they killed the family cat, neighbors dog or went after too many children. There's a good reason why so many of the nasty monsters are locked up behind bars! I don't want those monsters taking over the dog world.
Some of us want and need decent loving, hard working, trustworthy, reliable dogs.
