The purchase of a well-bred purebred did not sentence another dog to death. The purchase of a well-bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of dogs... in shelters. Someone wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted. Someone's meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto. I am not the one who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters either. It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. Maybe I needed a working dog, a sport dog, or simply a companion puppy to raise of a breed I enjoy. No matter the reason, the choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death. A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs. The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them. Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem. Your friend who impulse bought a dog at PetLand IS contributing to the problem. That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem. Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter so she can experience motherhood or because she’s just so sweet IS contributing to the problem. Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem. A reputable breeder offers lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter to begin with. A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return dogs they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it. It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced. If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those of us who purchase from them are just as angry, we are just pointing fingers at the right causes. *Shared* See more

Please be aware of this SCAM website. Not only have they used our verbiage they are selling one of my personal Havanese Pups named Jet who was born in May and ...is 7 ms old!! His owner has been contacted a few times now to be made aware and one lady contacted me who fell for the scam and sent this website money. I’ve contacted my friend who is police but unfortunately there is nothing they can do. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your research- pick up the phone and call to speak to the breeder. If price is low it’s too good to be true!!!
