Damn, that's a cute dog, although I'm not really a fan of bulldogs after having been bit by a pit.

I don't think anyone should pay that much for a dog. There are so many dogs in shelters that need good, loving homes and to adopt one costs so little. What's happening is ignorant people who want to brag about how much they spent are finding breeders with "expensive" dogs. Then they go spend $800 on a "papered" dog so they can show off and say, "My dog's got papers and I spent $800 on him." The thing is, ignorant people are blind to the fact that most breeders are just running a "puppy mill" where they allow in-breeding from the same family line just so they can increase their inventory of sellable pups. That leads to a dilution of the gene pool and genetic defects like deafness (Dalmatians), skin problems (Shar Peis), ear problems (Cocker Spaniels) and advanced aggression (Golden Retrievers and St. Bernards). On top of that, those "papers" that everyone is so keyed-up about don't hold water anymore. They are being forged by unscrupulous breeders so they can increase the marketability of their dogs. I worked at an animal hospital for almost 11 years and you wouldn't believe how many new Dalmatians we saw because of that damn 101 Dalmatians movie. People buy dogs for the wrong reasons. The absolute BEST dogs I ever saw were always from the Humane Society and it only cost $40 to adopt one. With the kind of technology we have available to us, who needs a "guard dog" any more? If the shoe fits, wear it. If not, what I said doesn't apply to you. [/rant] |
