That is completely disrespectful and since you feel like its OK to kick a person when they're down, I don't think I need to react with kindness, especially not now. I don't have a single issue with rescuing dogs, in fact, I think it is the RIGHT thing to do. It is moral. I think breeding dogs and selling them (even if don't end up with a profit) is immoral. I don't give a fuck about how long one of your dogs lived and happy one of your dumbass customers was. My family has always "rescued" or adopted pets from all walks of life.
Tasha: large dog, part shepherd, found but don't know where I was too little, died around 15, heart-worms
Pooch: large dog (indeterminate breed), found at the flea market, died around 15, euthanasia
Bitsy: small dog, chihuahua/rat-terrier, "accident" litter from neighbor, 13, died from stroke
Buddy: black lab, abandoned by pseudo family member, 13 and acts like a puppy
Della: bichon frise, rescue from shelter, 3years and super healthy

Lexie was an extremely special case. I don't think my sis and BIL made a wrong choice when deciding to rescue, they just got duped by an asshole "humane" society. Its not OK to lie, whether you're a breeder or a humane society. Just like they had no way to know that the humane society was not being honest and could not be trusted, they could have the same damn problem with a "good breeder."
To top it off, they wanted a slightly older dog, not a fucking puppy. Not everyone wants to deal with a puppy. So yes, there are risks, just like there are when you go to a "good breeder." My whole issue with this is that the people they adopted from out-right LIED they weren't just ignorant of the condition, a breeder could do the same fucking thing.

Take your opinion and shove it. Self righteous bitch.
