ME TOO! ME TOO!!
All these homeless dogs are from the town this breeder is from, Petfinder had page after page, tons of 'em....They are all TOO CUTE!! IT'S A CUTE OVERLOAD!!
But yeah, that Gabriel is adorable...oh my, what a dog...I loved the write up on Gabriel von Metzge!! Did you read it?
I'd love to do write ups on Petfinder dogs...:msngiggle: I think it can impact potential owners....i know the shelters are busy, and often don't even know a lot about the dogs, but some descriptions are so charming, aren't they?
I went to Kraftwerk9 site there...was disappointed, they don't seem interested in who gets their dogs. Soon as the payment is rec'd, they ship the dog.
Apparently, no interviewing, no questions, no references, no application forms to fill out, just nothing?:dognowink: Just any ol person can get one? I mean, i'd hope to see them wanting to verify these dogs are going to homes that will understand what is involved, assess their knowledge and commitment, suitability, etc etc.
I would, if i ever decided to add to the dog population crisis by breeding dogs, (which i wouldn't do) i'd wanna know all about who gets MY dogs.
I'd wanna vet those potential owners, mmHmm. To try to weed out the folks that get "tired" of puppies who chew, or bark, or wanna go on walks, etc etc, and then turn them into the pound or set them loose in the middle of nowhere, cuz maybe they didn't really understand dogs' needs.
Or even abuse them cuz they aren't "right" or they don't know what to do, where to turn for advice, etc etc..could happen, :msnmad:just shipping dogs to strangers that don't even get interviewed, no application to assess the human's suitability, nothing?????:msneek: *shiver*
I didn't study the dog breeder site at length, but it didn't seem to be breeding to improve the breed per say, not a lotta obvious mention of hip testing, etc. I'd imagine they do test, but breeding for it, doesn't seem to be the reason they are cranking out litter after litter of dogs and shipping them---soon as the payment is rec'd----to any sranger who pays up..
The pictures show cages during summer months, they are big, with outdoor...dirt for the dogs, but still, it's cages. It did say they are heated. Didn't notice any toys, even. Sad.
Wonder why anyone would need "papers" on their dog,:msnrolleyes: and risk the chance they could be $upporting a puppy mill------ when they could RESCUE a really wonderful dog:dogbiggrin: off deathrow and Save a dog who really really needs a home?
JackieNMutts, DAWG BLESS YOU FOR RESCUING HOMELESS DOGS WHO JUST NEEDED A CHANCE!! KUDOS!! GOOD FOR YOU, JACKIE!!
