I've gotten some flak for stating that I intend to get a puppy from a breeder this summer. Excuse me people, but I want a puppy whose parents I can meet, and whos future health can be at least somewhat predicted by looking at the health of the line. What's wrong with that?
Same here. No offence to shelter dogs or petshop dogs or backyard breeder dogs, but I want a dog that has been bred professionally, with people who have taken the time to ascess traits of the parents and such. I love shelter dogs, in my opinion they are all great, but I'm paranoid, lol, and when you want a breed that carries so many health problems, I think it may be wise on my part to get one that I atleast have somewhat of a guarentee that it will be healthy
