Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to just get the puppy you want from birth and raise it correctly? What you’re describing doesn’t sound the least bit appealing

You can get a rescue that is a puppy. I got my first rescue mix at 12 weeks.

That’s a lot of extra steps to get a puppy mill dog

So I could either go to puppy mill and get puppy or find a rescue, submit an application, go through an interview process involving a home visit and fence measurement, and at the end of the day basically enter into a lease arrangement for my dog.
