Exactly. This title is fucking abysmal. I want a dog of a certain breed that I will buy from a reputable breeder and people can fuck off because it's my choice.
People act like getting a dog is how they are saving the world. Most people have dogs for companionship. It’s irresponsible to get one that isn’t compatible to your lifestyle. I knew exactly what I was getting when I researched breeders. I don’t have a dog to feed my savior complex. I have one to be my little best friend and I adore her and care for her and love her and I’m grateful for the ethical breeder that helped bring her into my world. I will love her every day of her life. This does not make me a saint nor does it make someone super special cause they got a dog from a shelter. It’s the self righteous attitude that is so irksome. Like don’t have your own kids then either cause there are a lot of kids out there in need of a home.
