How did you get your dog??

[K9karen]

Cody was from a litter of my friend's GR. They thought the pups were purebred, but realized they were part Labbies. He cost $50 but was worth a trillion.



Logan's an SPCA rescue. She was $35 but worth her weight in gold.

My rainbow bridge greyhound, Shaianne, came from the Humane Society.
Keegan came to me when Shaianne died, a friend of mine from work - her dog had sired a litter of GR puppies, and they were getting a free puppy so she offered her to me b/c my dog had passed away.

Reggie was from a breeder...my dad's co-worker had a schnauzer that had a litter and Reggie was the only one left. They couldn't sell him so they gave him to us for free.

Nebo was from a breeder.

Sydney was also from a breeder, my sister bought her.

My next dog will be a siberian husky from a shelter or rescue.

Both Reece and Lolly came from the shelter I volunteer/work at. Reece was there in March and Lolly was there in June of the same year (2001).

[Glacier]

Muskwa came from a breeder. Earle came from Muskwa--contract had a breeding clause in it for one litter if Muskwa turned out as well as he looked as a puppy. Hoodoo was from that litter as well.

Pingo, Sleet & Hobo all came from other mushers who didn't want them anymore.

Everyone else--all 15 of them--came from the Humane Society Yukon.

We got Face from a breeder, whos 2 Rotts had puppys, ( i think it was a 1st time thing)
We got Rita from a breeder who only bred Presa Canarios, and was highly publicized, (but is no longer in business) Drove a total of 24 hours just to get her, she is amazing and im glad we did.

BARNYARD WE FOUND WANDERING IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE IN THE RAIN WITH NO COLLAR ON.

MUKLUK WAS WANDERING DETROIT WITH AN EMBEDDED COLLAR

TAHOE WAS CHAINED OUTSIDE A CONSTRUCTION SITE

AND TALIA WE GOT FROM A BREEDER BEFORE WE KNEW ANY BETTER ABOUT HOW BAD THIS LADY WAS. BUT IM SO GLAD WE DID

[Christiansmommy]

Dale is from a breeder. We drove to North Carolina to pick him up...

[Logan]

I voted "other" because ours came to us in a multitude of ways!

Honey and Lilly came as puppies from breeders (back yard breeders, to tell you the truth, before I knew better .....I'm glad I didn't know better then because I sure do love those girls).

Zipper came from our local Golden Retriever Rescue group.

And I got Murphy because I got married and she was a part of the deal!!

[pitc9]

I voted Breed Rescue.

We got Sierra from KRPetz/Dogs Hope, German Shepherd Rescues that work together here in Ohio.

When I went to the kill shelter to adopt Buddy, they had already called the rescue to come and get him. When I was there filling out the papers, they told me I would have to go through the rescue. When I found out it was the same rescue, I told the shelter to call them and tell them who was adopted him (Since I had just adopted Sierra through the same rescue not even a year earlier) So they did... and Buddy came home with me that day!!

[Samantha Puppy]

My neighbor rescued Samantha and her puppy sister from along side a busy highway when they were 6 weeks old. They'd just been dumped there and left to die. She brought them home and brought them over to my parent's house to see if we knew anyone who wanted a puppy. Samantha looked up, I looked down, our eyes locked and the rest is history.

I said other because LucyBelle was a breeder... but Merlin was a rescue from the SPCA

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Blaze was from a Border collie breeder...Bandit, my deceased dog; well, we got him from my aunt and uncle, and he was a mostly pure-bred BC; and I got Domino, my American Satin guinea pig from a breeder also.

[Tina]

Ginger came from a breeder and I got Reggie from a rescue group.
