not sure why you would be requesting our permission to do this.
However, I personally feel that the money that will be spent bringing dogs over from a country that is half way around the world when we have plenty of our own dogs that require loving homes doesn`t really have much of a purpose.
In my opinion, perhaps we should spend the money on helping the millions of starving and orphaned children in Africa or other charities..before shipping dogs that much of a distance.
I have been to afghanistan and the dogs that I saw there were not really pet quality if you know what I mean...they are typically wild or nearly wild mutts that roam the streets...not really sure if i would be wanting to bring that into my home.
the high costs for something like this could be so better used in more appropriate ways.
just my opinion
and I am sure this will start a whirlwind of debate.

I agree. We have plenty of sheltered animals here in Canada. I believe help starts at home first

its your money..do what you want.
I was just saying that the money it is going to cost you to do this could be used elsewhere, if you were looking at doing this for a charitable reason.
but if it what you want to do, go for it.
make sure you do the research, as I am sure that there are tonnes of regulations and quarantine procedures that will require lots of time and money.
it would be definitely cheaper to find a afghan dog in BC...but to each their own.
good luck if you decide to do it.

Why would you ask, it just stirs the pot. Your choice is your choice... No need to ask strangers for permission... It just starts crap.

This is an ethical debate that can go on forever without a solution.If you have the ability to save the life of a creature that is destined for certain anihilation,do so,whether it has 2 legs or 4.If you can provide a good life to that animal then good on you,but I also believe you should look in your own back yard and adopt one from here as a companion to your afagani refugee.We're all very lucky to have disposable income in this country,the 20 dollar bill in my pocket could go towards the calgary spca tomorrow or the fish store ,who here has the right to judge
