It happens less often than it does in the U.S., but if you are hanging out for a purebred and willing to wait, you WILL find one. Also, there are HEAPS of purebred dogs. As for cats, I saw a PUREBRED HIMALAYAN adult female when I adopted Pixel. If it wasn't for that feelin' in my heart that Pixel was the furkid for us, I woulda snapped up the Himmy. She was GORGEOUS, it wouldn't have taken her long to find a home.
