ummmmmmmmmm ok
This thread has been turned into the debate of shelter vs. buying.
Personally, I wouldn't buy a purebred from a breeder. The only reason why I have Keegan is b/c a friend of mine gave her to me, after my greyhound died.
My first dog was a purebred but I got her from the shelter.
I think shelter dogs can make better pets b/c they appreciate what you are giving them. Sounds odd yes but....... true. Keegan has been spoiled since day one and would have no idea what to do on the street. Kinda like a kid that gets everything handed to them.
I find that buying other pets from shelters but not dogs slightly hypocritical. And it sure makes a lot more work for those people like our own Aly who have dedicated their lives to homeless pets.
Just my 2 cents and IMHO.
