I don't think anyone said they were?

clara4457- I agree with you there. That is a very powerful, eye opening statement Aly ::hugs::


I got Nova from an animal Shelter in Lock Haven PA and I got Connor from an Animal Shelter in Myrtle Beach SC. The have not been sick Once, I have had Nova for 2 years and Connor for less then one. People always are asking me how I taught my dogs so much and how I am able to keep them so well behaved. I get compliments left and right about my dogs.

I think it is un-fare for you guys to judge shelter dog's as a group. A lot of healthy, loving dogs come from animal shelters. If you don't personally want to get a shelter dog, then fine, go to a breeder but don't place all shelter animals into an "unhealthy temperment unknown" group.
