Yeah, let me rescue this random dog that someone threw away when i have no idea if it's gonna be an rear end in a top hat and bite my face off instead of paying for a breed that i know will respond a certain way or not shed or not grow to be a size that requires more time and exercise than i could feasibly give it because i live in a tiny apartment in the city or something

Yeah because rescues don't do any behavior testing or any of that stuff at all. They just take in random strays and keep them in cages and ignore them until some rube comes in and takes them. That's exactly what they do.

adopt like five dogs at the same time and see which one is the best fit and then just turn the other four loose on the streets or have them put down

if you think buying a specific purebreed guarantees you an exact predictable set of all of those parameters you are exactly the kind of stupid idiot who buys a $2000 dog and then dumps it at the shelter in 6 months when it's not exactly like the brochure

just get a cat

my uncle just got an akita from a shelter that seemed like a great dog until temperament issues started showing up like the dog barking like crazy and growling whenever someone knocks on the front door, or someone that the dog isn't that acquainted with walks in without my uncle there. he has two young kids in the house. the other day i walked in and the dog actually started biting my pants. they haven't hit the dog or anything, but this issue has been ongoing. perfectly nice usually, but random spurts of aggression keep popping up. plus the dog is extremely skittish outside. clearly got abused. it's hard to predict what you're going to get, and some people just aren't willing to deal with that risk, especially if they have small children around.

i have a shelter cat. she's wonderful. perfect pet. but i wouldn't tell people to go gently caress themselves if they want a breeder animal if they actually go through the right channels and find a breeder that knows that they're doing.

working dogs have been bred since the dawn of civilization but useless vanity dogs have really only been a thing for a couple of centuries so the genes and gene pools aren't always quite what one might hope

It's really ignorant+stupid to think that just because your purebred dog ended up being a good fit it means that you need to get a purebred dog to get a good dog. I guarantee a ton of dachsund mix rescues would have played with the stupid bug just as cutely and earned your love just as well as your pure blood master race dog.

a little known pure bred "hack" is to drain all the blood from a pure bred dog of your choice and then replace a mutt's blood with it. the "mutt" will gain the powers of the pure bred but without the inherited genetic weaknesses

how hard is it to understand that if you like an animal you don't want it to be raised in inhumane conditions? People who breed for profit are 90+% scumbags who should die, whether they do it with dogs, cats, fish, or whatever.

its more that there's literally no need to breed dogs as pets because irresponsible peoples' dogs breed all the time by accident, and also lots of dog owners are irresponsible pieces of poo poo who lose or abandon their pets, and many of these great dogs are put to sleep in shelters because people buy breeder/pet shop dogs instead

To get them to look like that it takes like 2 days worth of grooming and conditioning.

Then you bring them to the beach to show them off and they immediately smell the one pile of washed up dead fish somewhere and go roll in it.
