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~.


I've had two friends who found Chinese crested dogs, and one Chinese Crested mix, in local shelters. Seriously, have you done a search on PetFinder if you really want that particular breed? It would be saving a shelter animal's life instead of plumping the wallet of a breeder. Are you looking at a time line, or are you willing to wait? You might be able to find one in another area, if not local, so it would still be helping a shelter dog.
