Actually, it's been an amusing exchange to watch. Alicia does preach to others to look for shelter dogs/cats, even had it in her siggie about adopting shelter animals instead of the "breed and buy" while others die. Alicia is also very good at belittling others and making snide comments. Pickle was dead on with many of her statements. Good research ~Pickle
Yes I do tell people to look in shelters but that's when they are going to buy dogs from a byb especially when they are looking to get a mixed breed from a breeder. If someone is looking for a purebred I almost always suggest either looking in a shelter or go to a local show and talk to breeders. I've also never had those quotes in my siggy Your pretty good at making those snide comments yourself.

Seriously, have you done a search on PetFinder if you really want that particular breed?
Yes I have and I already said that I did in this thread, look back on my post.

It would be saving a shelter animal's life instead of plumping the wallet of a breeder.
I'm going to a good breeder, they won't be making any money off of the money I give them. The money real breders ask for is to go to what they spent on testing, showing,spay/neuter, shots etc. They rarley make the money back that they put into the dogs.

i have never cared about what people think of me and im not going to start now
This is what I mean about causing havvoc and being stuck up. Look what you have turned this thread into and how rude your being to others that have done nothing wrong.
