  1. I am back to say that I Was being a shit when I posted I am sorry for stooping to the level of being a poo head and posting that. Glad you are working on this dog he is beautiful
  2. sorry not quoted but here is what I was saying
  3. Well, Rebanne has a good point here. You still pay for dogs from pounds and rescue, do you not? Why is the language different? I'm not having a go at you here but it's interesting that it is different and it's only been different in recent years. No that is true, I guess society has used those words for those types is all. But I never said that what I said was twisted into it. I said people may want to adopt because if they dont that dog will die it was twisted to say if you buy a dog from a breeder a shelter dog dies I NEVER said that. See so there were no AR rubbish coming from any one until someone tool something and twisted it into AR rubbish. Why assume the post was about you? I'm not going back through all the pages of this thread, but the "don't breed or buy while a shelter dog dies" was certainly brought up, and not initially by you from memory. Because I was quoted and told not to bring that AR shit here
  4. I can understand the breeder wanting avoid the wrath of some within the rspca, she might have managed to get the dogs but she would be a target after that forever. Oh but what can the RSPCA do to a registered breeder who isnt breaking laws? Just glad the dogs are safe.
  5. I dont understand why this has all fallen on a rescue does the breeder not want to know what happened to the dogs?
  6. But I never said that what I said was twisted into it. I said people may want to adopt because if they dont that dog will die it was twisted to say if you buy a dog from a breeder a shelter dog dies I NEVER said that. See so there were no AR rubbish coming from any one until someone tool something and twisted it into AR rubbish. still trying to guilt people into buying a dog that may not be suitable for them No I dont tell people that lol I am saying SOME PEOPLE MAY WANT TO ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL are you guys really this thick or are you jsut trying to entertain yourself tonight by picking fights? Lots of people know that dogs in shelters dont find homes and get put to sleep so they choose to adopt how is that wrong? Just like lots of people want a papered purebred dog and buy from a breeder people will do what they want to do. Your not going to convince someone who wants a pedigreed dog to adopt no matter how much your pour on the guilt, just like some people hate breeders and wont ever buy a dog from one no matter how much you explain or educate about breeders. Everyone has a right to get their dogs from where they feel comfortable.

  8. Shame on you, he isnt microchipped in your name you have no right to try to make sure he has a rescue to take him if you cant find the owners, for shame you need to keep him a secret and if his owners or breeder dont come along you should just Euth him. On a serious note glad you have saved him. Hope he finds his home or a new one soon
  9. Ill do that tonight he is so cute and I think prob best places by a rescue or breeder
  10. Saw this on facebook and thought maybe a rescue could help this guy http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=123895574443542&set=o.162426987157980&type=1&theater
  11. Ok. I'll bite in the semantics game. That is not the meaning of adopt. It has become a twisted misuse of the word by animal rights and animal welfare organisations - part of the broader guilt game. From www.merriam-webster.com adopt verb \ə-ˈdäpt\ transitive verb 1: to take by choice into a relationship; especially : to take voluntarily (a child of other parents) as one's own child So adopting is not saving. Adopting is choosing. A pup at a breeders' home, which is available to a new home, and purchased by a new owner, is every bit as adopted as a shelter pet. I see what you are saying.
  12. I didn't say that AND I hate PETA I said that people see a shelter dog and if it is not adopted it will die and breeders dogs are safe and shouldn't be in danger of dying if it doesn't find a home. Thats why I think some choose to adopt also you can find purebred dogs in rescue/shelter for a fraction of the cost with all medical done. You may hate them but you have bought into their blame game. As to purebred dogs in shelters, you are also buying into the viewpoint that any dog will do. Please guess how many of my breeds I have come across in shelters. Go on. Guess. How have I bought into their game? I simply stated why I think some people adopt rather than buy from breeders. People are free to get their dogs from anywhere they please, if you have a love for a breed that dont hit shelters often or you would rather have one with papers then go to a breeder makes sense to me but most people just want a pet and a shelter dog is what they want. Most? If most people wanted a shelter dog there wouldn't be any dogs in shelters. Sorry most people just want a pet. Not most people want a shelter pet Why do you think that pedigree dogs are not pets? Oh god yes they are pets too. I know some people prefer pedigrees to be pets. Sorry, what do you mean by the bolded? Some people prefer pedigrees to be pets as opposed to what? ETA - wondering if you mean some people prefer pets to have a pedigree, and have just mixed the words around? Sorry I meant some people prefer their pets to have papers and come from a breeder vs a shelter dog like reb said she likes to know where her dogs come from, she cant take strange greyhounds because of the cat. My brother prefers to get imported dogs from their country of origin.

Why do you think that pedigree dogs are not pets? My pedigree dogs are my pets first and foremost. I like knowing what I am getting. Yup I understand your point of view and know other have the same, many have the same. I was just trying to offer a reason of why some people get shelter pets.
