New Baby!!!!

I agree with Alicia, 100%!

Getting a dog from a BYB/puppymill or the like isn't really saving it's life. In turn, you give them business so they 'pump' out more puppies to get more sales thus more money. If you didn't buy from them, their mothers would probably be put out of her misery or go to a shelter where she will get bathed, UTD on shots, spayed etc. The same thing will most likely happen to the puppies.

As others have said, the 'breeder' you are getting your pug from isn't that great. Sure she's just breeding pugs for pets, but even pets need testing done. Who knows, he may develop some sort of health problems later on, regardless if you take good care of him or not. I'm sure you will take excellent care of him though!

Also, not all dogs at shelters are dying, old or unhealthy. You can find many happy, healthy dogs there! Pugs included! There are many pugs available for adoption on Petfinder. You just have to look!

Well, congrats on your new addition!

ps- I am not trying to bash/attack you. I'm just trying to convince you to adopt a dog instead of buying one from a BYB.

WHY DOES ANYONE CARE WHERE SHE IS GETTING HER PUPPY FROM? ARE ANY OF YOU PUTTING UP THE MONEY FOR IT????????? NO!!!! SO BACK OFF OF HER AND JUST BE HAPPY FOR HER!!!!! IS THAT SOO HARD?

Sheesh, calm down. We are just telling her that next time she should get one from a rescue or a reputable breeder instead of a BYB. We aren't attacking her in any way.

YOU MISSED MY POINT...WHY DO YOU CARE WHERE SHE GETS A DOG..UNLESS YOU HAVE OT LIVE WITH HER OR PAY THE VET BILLS WHY DOES ANYONE CARE?

Because it has a bad domino effect for many other dogs/breeders. It basically fuels the fire in the world of BYBs.

you go junescrator, theres nothing wrong with getting a dog from a breeder, as long as you check the breeders out first!

well as long as you check the breeders and there not puppymills, whats the big deal? Maybe the local sheltor didn't have a pug!
But I understand what you mean, all my 5 dogs are rescued from sheltors, one supposedly ran away from a puppymill!
