Where did you get your dog?

Micki and Mini were from an accidental litter. My mom knew that I wanted a JRT and one day I was staying with my Aunt and my mom picked me up and took me to these peoples house. Micki and Mini were the only two left out of 5. We took 'em both. I really wish I would've researched a bit more and found a real JRT from a reputable breeder.

Kyra is Mini's baby, my dad grew up believing that a female that is allowed one litter of pups will be a better dog. I was so angry, and I think they learned their lesson. My dad was hoping to make some money but we ultimately gave the pups away to people we knew so we didn't make any profit, and had to deal with a pup with problems (kyra). So, I'm happy to say that they gave up on the whole puppy idea for the future!

Shadow came from my Aunt who bred Rotts for many years. She was definately a BYB, she planned on keeping Shadow and her sister Cocoa but her husband became sick so she dropped Shadow off at our house, not sure what happened with Cocoa.

Jack was from a rescue. Some people were taking him to the shelter when an old man asked if he could have him. He brought him to the rescue and we scooped him up just a couple days later!

Mandy - shelter
Nova - BYB
Luka - humane society (run more like a rescue than a shelter)
Buck - reputable breeder

i got Malakai from a reputable breeder in my area

chloe also came from a breeder, the litter was an accident, they bred Treeing walkers and Red tick (english) coon hounds for hunting, chloes dad (a red tick) aparently jumped the fence and got to chloes mom (a walker)..i know for sure that it wasnt intentional, both her parents had health tests done and were working dogs

I adopted Sierra from a GSD rescue and Buddy from a kill shelter.

Daisy, I adopted from the SPCA in Houston exactly 3 months ago. She is my family now. I'm completely attatched; she rawks. :D :D

LOL. :p

I got Visa from my friend who breeds groenendael. Visa was a freak (for lack of a better word) and it killed Marla to have such a beautiful dog that could never be a Specials dog because of her bad ring temperment, and so could probably never be bred. So when my (ex)roomate's dog had to be rehomed, she lent us Visa so that we could have some protection and I could handle Visa in agility. I fell in love with her quickly and Marla gave her to me under the condition that she got breeding rights for the first litter (IF Visa's behaviour improved, which it did immensley). So that's where I got Visa. My next puppy is from Visa's litter. :)

Nebo came from a BYB. Not a particularly horrible one, just a lady who happened to have two siberian huskies and she bred them. I highly doubt she health tested the parents, only one of the parents was AKC registered (the other was supposed to but she didn't get the papers or something like that...either way Nebo is not registered).

Reggie was also from a BYB, well I guess...he has AKC papers I have no idea if the parents were show quality, but I don't think Reggie is even close. I was a kid when we got him and knew nothing of good and bad breeders. A co-worker of my dad's bred schnauzers and Reggie was the last pup in the litter that they couldn't find a home for. They gave him to us for free.

My sister bought Sydney, I don't know anything about the breeder other than Syd was the last pup in the litter again. She has papers, I have no idea if her parents were tested or shown or anything like that. We just ended up with her somehow lol, we didn't go out and buy her.

pet shelter, animal regulation in ft. lauderdale florida

Sylvia was from a pet store before I knew better.

Harley was from a shelter.

Morty was from a foster mom.

Jimmy was a rescue.

Gonzo & Fozzie are both from private rescues. ;)

Samantha was abandoned alongside a road at 6 weeks with her puppy sister.

Penny - Freebie/ accidental litter
Clover - Add in the newspaper, we paid $20 for her.
Theodore - Petshop... bad i know :o.
Elvis and Tinny - Friends wanted one more litter from their best working dog and offered us a pup.. we then ended up with Mz Tinny aswell.

We got Teddy from a menonite farm. the Lab was the young boy's dog and the neighbours Coonhound stopped by for a visit one night and now we have Teddy lol. She and the pups lived out in the barn with the cattle :( Teddy had a pretty upset tummy all the way home but was fine once we got some kibble into him. I think a cow did something to frighten Teddy when they were in the barn because now he is nervous of big things like that lol.

I voted for other...

got Kirby in Coeur d'Alene Idaho off someone who placed an add in the classifieds where i then found it on there internet from there...
