Tencats, how can you see her there in that glass box? My god, you must so want to get her back??

If you need her fostered, I will do that and I assure you, she will find the very best forever home.

Everyone's making lots of money, that's all I know. The breeders aren't these altruistic pet versions of Mother Theresa who lay down their lives for the welfare of all four-legged beasties. No...they're in it to make money! Sure sure, they may love dogs. Yada yada yada. But I think they BREED for money. They are a business.

So is *edit*. If they truly are calling potential dog owners and trying to determine the appropriateness of a particular match, I think that's just fantastic.

But I do also hate the puppy windows. I second that...amen brother. Or sister. I forget who said it. And the kitty cages also make me sad. The sad, lonely looks they give you, desperate for attention....*sigh*

the windows suck yes they are imprisoned looking on at us with those sad eyes while we move about and forget about them shortly after as we begin to think what we will do for dinner somebody pass me a big brick we may throw at these windows

i have nothing more to say, im depressed, its time for work anyway

I bought my rottweiler from what many might concider a backyard breeder 9 years ago. I bought her after looking at many that were CKC registered and not at all great dogs imo. (Super long docked tails, Dewclaws not done, skittish and not very confident parents just to name a couple of things.) This wasn't what I expected from breeders who are registering dogs with the CKC. My dog is now 9 years old and is in excellent health. The vet allway's comments on how great of shape she's in for an old gal.

I'd buy the right dog from a backyard breeder any day of the week.
