New Baby!!!!

I know BYB's aren't the same as puppymills. But the pet store puppies come from puppymills (MOST of them).

I know she isn't getting her pup from any of those places but I wanted to cear up why it is bad to get a puppy from a pet store, byb or puppymill.

That's good that you rescued all those dogs.

I refuse to buy pups from puppymills, cute as they maybe they benefit the puppymills, and I couldn't think staright knowing I helped a puppymill.

I just went through all of the posts. Junes, just ignore the people with nothing nice to say. I know your situation, and I'm happy for you and the puppy. And don't worry I'm a mean person like you since I didn't adpot either of mine. The puppy is in good hands, and I'm glad you found the one that fits perfect with you. 5 days if I read right?

You guys, why bother repeating the same things over and over again? Seriously. You all know that she nor her family is going to change their minds. Yes, BYBs are bad and we all know that. I'm sure she understands the point you're all trying to get across. They are going to get the puppy regardless. There's nothing we can do about it. Just be glad the pup will be in a good home and won't end up in the shelter - as a lot do.

As far as all this "why don't you adopt?" stuff goes, why can't you all just drop that subject as well? It makes it seem as though everyone getting their dog even from either a BYB or a reputable breeder are awful, horrible people. She's obviously not getting her dog from a reputable breeder, but I'm just sick of hearing "adopt, adopt, adopt!" all the time. It's not for everyone, myself included. She's already stated reasons as to why she doesn't want to/can't adopt. Why is it that some of you have to go on and on and on about all the wrong things she's doing and you can't just be happy for her? I kind of know how she feels as I've gone through the same thing on other boards about my choice to go to a (wonderful, excellent) breeder instead of adopting my next dog and it certainly is not enjoyable to listen to.

I'm not trying to stand up for her or say it's right to get a pup from a BYB, but I think the entire thread has gotten way out of hand and everyone is just repeating themselves. You're all (well, most of you) making her sound like an awful person about this chocie to purchase the pup (I know you weren't trying to, you were all just educating, but that's the way it's coming across - or atleast thats how I see it anyway). You also have to remember that she herself is not buying the dog...her parents/Dad is.

OH WELL JEEZ- TFTPWNSYOU- If you are a "mean person" then I flat out must be HORRID!!! (ROFLMAO).. Three of my current dogs are from dog breeders, and so is the coming collie. Technically- so is the 4th Borzoi- out of the top international kennel in the World for Borzois-, out of the Borzoi Rescue- and she has the health problems Miss Top Breeder in the world-... Saying BYB's are bad is one thing- saying this breeder qualifies for this is another...

And I will say this- its a good thing the breeder of this puppy isnt reading this thread- some of you would be heading for one heck of a slander lawsuit.. I know if it was me as the breeder you were atttacking- I would.. ( hmm I wonder what I would do with all those houses....lol)

Gosh you threaten lawsuites and things a lot...you honestly think you could win lots of houses from this? Nobody was attacking, why do you always think critisism is attacking? Thank god things can be analyzed without always being contrued by all as attacks.

It was a joke- and I will edit. Just making a point. .. You never know who is reading.

It doesn't matter who was reading...nobody was lying about anyone, just stating an opinion.

I can say gee I went into Target and I didn't like the quality...is that against the law...no if I make up something totally false about Target maybe ...but that is even a stretch for anything to happen.

I didn't know you were joking...it really didn't seem like you were.

Well if I was a hobby breeder, I would be horrified at being called a BYB... Thats the point...

LOL! Yup just horrid! Well, I had to make her feel better. Some were making it seem since she didn't rescue from a shelter she was doing a bad thing by buying a puppy from a breeder, and it's not. If anything at least there is one puppy that she knows has a good home and won't wind up in a pound somewhere. That's how I feel about mine. I know for a fact I have them, and there's 2 less dogs to be owned by someone else who may decide that they don't want them anymore.

Hobby breeders are not the same as BYB. BTB's don't care about the health of the dogs they breed, they just do so they can make money. I would say a hobby breeder is one who has excellent dogs, has done the testing necessary, and just does not show. Just because someone doesn't have some exclusive kennel does not mean they're bad. Hobby breeders still care about the breed in itself.
