Here's the thing, sweet cheeks: Taxpayers are paying for peoples' poor decisions, stemming from the fact that breeders are just there to be suppliers of a puppy. Nothing more. They may ask a few questions, pretend like they care, but if you want to return a sick puppy- because many, many of them are- they will either refuse, or tell you that they will just put the puppy to sleep. I've seen this so many times, and for so many years. Taxpayers are paying for people who get a $2000 puppy and their landlords don't allow it, or they don't have a good living situation for the dog (border collie in a tiny apartment, one common example), divorce….moving (can't take the dog, of course!). At least rescues and shelters check the potential adopters to help them get the dog that is right for them. All your talk about responsible breeding- but you really have nothing to back it up. All your bullish*t talk about PETA, telling me i've never met a breeder. Get out of the trailer park once in a while.
