I also felt like my dog Teddy was being attacked. We love Teddy and just because he is a purebred and from a breeder makes him no less of a dog then that of a shelter dog. I agree with Presley, I also thought pet talk was about loving all animals and it is sad when some one says they hate purebreds because people breed them for certain traits. I was discouraged to get a dog from the pound because he would be a mutt and we didn’t know his history. We didn't know what we were getting. He could have been abused as a puppy and afraid of people. Or when he was little he could have been aloud to bite and he might bite now that he is older. With a pure-bred you know what you are getting, the temperament and you can talk to the breeder weeks in advance, visit the dogs regularly and know that your dog will be exactly what you want.

Proud owner of a PUR-BRED dog and a shelter rescue..both loved equally treated equally and I am glad we bought Teddy from a breeder, I have never met a dog so well trained before, the second you say sit he sits the second you say down he lies down. He knows hand signals and everything. I have had Chewy for 2 weeks, we started training 4 days ago and he already knows lie down and sit. They both are smart. Neither one if more important to me and I would risk my life for either. I agree with buying a dog from the breeder and rescuing a dog from the pound, as long as you are willing to train the dog and love it.
