    Blair and Happy are from the same breeder-not exactly reputable but not exactly BYB either lol Happy we bought from them Blair was given to us.

    Misty is from a farm, she is not reg. but both parents are working stock dogs, the dogs are bred for health and working ability, and well socialized. however this was their first and only BC litter, they did formerly breed sher pei's. but I do consider them to be far more reputable then Happy and Blair's breeder. if they bred another litter I would go back to them in a heartbeat.

    Perky and Ripley are both from the shelter

  3. Lexi is unfortunately from a BYB, he was very caring, his place wasn't the best though, but MAN did he love his dogs!

    The only bad part was that I saw a dog, hidden in the bushes, in a large cage that was manged up, covered in fleas and probably very sick! I don't think it was his dog though!

    Lucky is from a BYB ( ) I regret making that decision, but he's here and he's hooked me onto Pekes.

    Giselle is from a breed (hmm..I don't want to say 'rescue' because she was given up willingly by her caring breeder- NOT picked off the streets with her ears cut off) ...Okay, she's from an all volunteer organization in Northern California dedicated to rehoming retired racing Greyhounds. That's a mouthful!

    Kaedyn came from the Shelter I volunteer at. It was my first day as a volunteer, and I already found a dog to take home.

    Kai's breeder wasn't exactly reputable, but he wasn't as bad as most bybs either. He shows, judges, made us sign a contract, and (normally) registers the pups. All his pups were guarenteed for health too. The contract we signed wasn't a spay/neuter contract (in fact, he discouraged us from neutering Kai.. but we did it anyways ). It was just a contract saying we'd return the pup to him if we decided we didn't want him anymore. We were supposed to get his papers in the mail but even after two years, I still haven't recieved them. He was a nice guy, but certainly wouldn't go back to him again.

    Ash was an adopted stray that my daughter Melissa begged me to keep, as I am allergic to cats, I was not too keen, and he was mainly an outdoor cat with a shelter for the first while, but gradually we let him come in and guess what my allergy actually improved, now he is the boss cat of the household and sleeps wherever he wishes, and is in the house most of the time. If it had not been for my daughter's insistence and my softness, I would never have known I was able to own one cat let alone two.

    Lexie was adopted from the cats protection league a NO kill shelter here.
    Furangels only lent.

    My two cats, Nikki & Daisy, came from Cat Sense a cat rescue organization in Pittsburgh. Just after I adopyed Nikki, I started volunteering with them. After a while I adopted Daisy
    as a companion for Nikki.

    I put BYB AND petshop..since she was there on consignment at the petshop from a local breeder. I hate it that is how she came to be with me, but that is the facts and I would do it again to have her...didn't even know what the letters BYB stood for until a few months ago..and sure didn't have a clue what goes on..but I still thank the good Lord that I have her~
