The dog is in a loving, humane situation while waiting to be adopted, and as you said, the potential adopter gets information about the dogs' personality. <BR/><BR/>There are many good purebred rescue organizations for those who want to go that route. <BR/><BR/>There also *are* reputable breeders--the type that make you sign a contract and check *you* out before they sell to you. If a "breeder" lets you have a dog without insisting it get spayed or neutered, run the other way. Also, a good breeder will always let you return the dog if your life situation ever changes. They would rather not see one of their dogs on the street.Staying in Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729612779930162079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-1149767104335651072006-06-08T07:45:00.000-04:002006-06-08T07:45:00.000-04:00I believe in Rescues.

I sort of understand why some people want purebreeds, but it's such a shame when there are so many "mutts" without homes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-1149743474805995622006-06-08T01:11:00.000-04:002006-06-08T01:11:00.000-04:00I confess to being in the dark, Dymphna, about the...I confess to being in the dark, Dymphna, about the dog-world.

The dog is fostered with one family until it is adopted. The family is able to tell you the dog's habits, likes,dislikes, fears..etc. The dog is less likely to be adopted by an unsuitable person or family that way.Mairin :o)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00244567237239774667noreply@blogger.com
